Organocatalysis

Nanyang Technological University's Associate Professor Zhong Guofu has made a significant contribution to the study of using small organic molecules as catalysts, in the synthesis process called organocatalysis ❋ Unknown (2009)

Over the past decade the research area of organocatalysis has rapidly grown to become a third pillar of asymmetric catalysis standing next to metal and biocatalysis, thus paving the way for a new and powerful strategy that can help to address these issues - organocatalytic cascade reactions. ❋ Christoph Grondal (2010)

IBM and Stanford scientists are pioneering the application of organocatalysis to green polymer chemistry, which represents a fundamental shift in the field. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Jim Hedrick is a researcher at IBM's San Jose, Calif., facility who worked on the organocatalysis breakthrough. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Previously no one has been able to 'recycle' the organocatalysts directly (i.e. only single reactions performed) leading to the limitation of the use of organocatalysis in the industry. ❋ Unknown (2009)

This ability to 'recycle' and produce multiple reactions thus increases the efficacy of the organocatalysis, making it a more efficient process, something that has not been demonstrated before. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Nanyang Technological University (NTU) 's Associate Professor Zhong Guofu has made a significant contribution to the field of organic chemistry, in particular the study of using small organic molecules as catalysts, in the synthesis process called organocatalysis. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The study of organocatalysis using organic molecules (which exists in nature, e.g. protein, amino acids) is a relatively new idea that started less than 10 years ago. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Ten years ago, MacMillan led a team that created a new way of instigating chemical reactions -- a new form of catalysis called organocatalysis. ❋ Unknown (2008)

[Asymmetric organocatalysis] is an [environmentally friendly] way of accelerating chemical [reactions] and creating specific types of molecules. ❋ -autumn_qed ^^ - (2022)
