Fluorous Crown Ethers

Phase transfer catalysis (PTC) has been an active area of interest for over 50 years and have now been incorporated into hundreds of industrial processes.  The primary role of these catalysts are to transfer an inorganic reagent from a non-organic … Continue reading

Fluorous and Microwave

In Fluorous Technologies’ April Technical Newsletter we highlighted some recent examples from the literature demonstrating the use of fluorous methods in conjunction with other technologies.  One of the other technologies was microwave heating.  While we only showed one example in … Continue reading

Fluorous Organocatalyst in Reductive Aminations

Last month we highlighted a paper from Profs. Cai and Zhang at Nanjing University and UMass-Boston describing their work using a fluorous thiourea organocatalyst in asymmetric alpha-chlorinations.  Just available online is a new accepted manuscript from Prof. Cai describing a … Continue reading

Catalysis with Fluorous Bipyridine Ligands

A recent paper in Adv. Synthesis and Catalysis from two groups in Italy describe the use of fluorous substituted bipyridyls (bipy) as ligands of methyltrioxorhenium (MTO).  The resulting fluorous catalysts were then used to catalyze the epoxidation of various olefins.  … Continue reading

In vivo fluorous mixture synthesis

The Hatanaka group has been studying the in vivo glycosylation of fluorous tagged carbohydrates for several years.  They have found that various fluorous tagged sugar primers introduced to a culture medium can cross cell membranes, be enzymatically glycosylated, then exit … Continue reading
