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.

High-throughput solid microsampling through stochastic robotic automation

Solid sampling at the sub-milligram and milligram scale remains a major bottleneck for high-throughput chemistry or material sciences, as existing approaches rely on manual handling or slow deterministic microsampling that do not readily scale.

Here we present STORMS, an automated STOchastic Robotic MicroSampling system that enables fast, reliable and parallel sampling of solid materials at sub-milligram and milligram masses.

Parameter efficient multi-model vision assistant for polymer solvation behaviour inference

Polymer–solvent systems exhibit complex solvation behaviours encompassing a diverse range of phenomena, including swelling, gelation, and dispersion. Accurate interpretation is often hindered by subjectivity, particularly in manual rapid screening assessments. While computer vision models hold significant promise to replace the reliance on human evaluation for inference, their adoption is limited by the lack of domain-specific datasets tailored, in our case, to polymer–solvent systems.
