Fluorous Host-Guest Chemistry and Transport

Posted on October 5, 2010 by Marv

The use of a fluorous phase as a liquid membrane has been applied in several multiphasic reactions, primarily fluorous triphasic and phase-vanishing reactions.  In both cases, the fluorous liquid phase is used as a barrier separating two other phases, one … Continue reading →

Teflon Tape Membrane

Posted on July 15, 2009 by Marv

Phase vanishing and triphasic reactions are ones that employ a fluorous liquid membrane, generally a perfluorocarbon such as FC-72, which separate two other liquid phases.  Usually one phase contains a reactant while the other a substrate.  The reactant can then … Continue reading →

Catalyst Recovery in CBS Reductions

Posted on June 25, 2009 by Marv

On the heels of the last post which described some organocatalyst work from the Wang group comes a newly available report in Chemical Communications from Tibor Soós and co-workers describing a new CBS pre-catalyst, A.  As seen below, the catalyst … Continue reading →

Catalytic Triphasic Reaction

Posted on May 5, 2009 by Marv

Back in the early part of this decade, University of Pittsburgh professor and FTI founder, Dennis Curran, published the first example of a fluorous triphasic reaction.  The triphasic reaction as originally published was conducted in a U-tube with a fluorous … Continue reading →

More Phase Vanishing

Posted on September 3, 2008 by Marv

Earlier this summer, we described some of the work of Prof. Ryu in the use of a fluorous liquid in phase vanishing reactions. To jog your memory, phase vanishing reactions are one where a fluorous phase is used as a … Continue reading →
