Abstract:
Given the importance of homogeneous catalysts recycling in organic chemistry, we have developed a unique microfluidic loop system for automated continuous recirculation of a soluble polymer supported metal catalyst for novel isocyanide cross-coupling reactions under thermomorphic multicomponent solvent (TMS) conditions. Our system provides an innovative approach for the chemical library synthesis of quinazolinone derivatives as well as an important intermediate of Merck's LTD4 antagonist "Singulair" with efficient continuous homogeneous catalyst recycling.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
