Synthesis of Novel Bromodifluoromethyl(arylsulfonyl) Compounds and Nickel Catalyzed Cross Coupling with Arylboronic Acids

July 7, 2016
  • Prepared two novel bromodifluoromethyl(arylsulfonyl) compounds
  • Using high-throughput experimentation (HTE) we have identified a very challenging Suzuki type coupling reaction catalyzed by nickel, providing direct formation of Csp2-CF2SO2Ar bonds
  • We propose a CF2SO2Ar radical species is involved in the reaction pathway
  • Future work will focus on the use of a photocatalyst to improve the harsh conditions of this transformation

Closed-Loop Bayesian Optimization for the Synthesis of Amine-Grafted Resins for Direct Air Capture

Direct air capture (DAC) of CO2 remains limited by adsorbent performance. Adsorption kinetics are a particularly underexplored lever to improve adsorbents, despite their significance in realistic processes. Today, the profile of 'the' optimal DAC adsorbent displaying high CO2 uptake and selectivity as well as fast sorption kinetics remains unknown.
