First catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of quinoxaline-2-carboxylates

January 24, 2017

Tetrahedron, Prof. Sébastien Paul, Université de Lille First catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of quinoxaline-2-carboxylates For the first time, the asymmetric hydrogenation of quinoxaline-2-carboxylates was performed successfully. The best catalysts are based on iridium complexes modified by chiral phosphorous ligands. Accelerated examination of ligands and catalysts has been undertaken by using a Chemspeed workstation, which enables carrying out, in parallel, eight independent catalytic reactions at the laboratory scale. Tetrahydroquinoxaline-2-carboxylates could be obtained with high yields and up to 74% ee. For details: First catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of quinoxaline-2-carboxylates Anna M.

Autonomous Synthesis and Inverse Design of Electrochromic Polymers with High Efficiency and Accuracy

The design and synthesis of functional polymers, aimed at targeted properties through specific structures, have long been challenged by their complex and often nonlinear structure− property relationships. Key processes, including knowledge accumulation for predictive design and experimental refinement and validation, are traditionally labor-insensitive and timeconsuming, making it difficult to balance accuracy and efficiency.

Localization, inspection, and reasoning (LIRA) module for autonomous workflows in self-driving laboratories

Self-driving labs (SDLs) combine robotic automation with artificial intelligence (AI) to allow autonomous, high-throughput experimentation. However, robot manipulation in most SDL workflows operates in an open-loop manner, lacking real-time error detection and error correction. This can reduce reliability and overall efficiency.
