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.

Integration of Machine Learning and Automated Synthesis for Accelerated Drug and Material Research

The challenges posed by global climate change and disease risks have intensified the demand for efficient and practical materials and molecules. Traditional trial-and-error approaches are becoming increasingly inefficient and resource-intensive. The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has opened new avenues to accelerate research and shorten development cycles.

Properties and Applications of Hydrogen-Bond Rich Iridium (III) Complexes

Iridium (III) complexes are used for a wide variety of applications owing to their thermal stability, tuneable electronic properties and strong photoluminescent character. Iridium (III) complexes can be structurally altered to change the wavelengths of light they absorb and emit making them desirable for organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and photocatalysis.
