  • Heterocycles (N,O,S), organophosphorous and organosilicon compounds
  • Polymers

We also have experience with the following chemistries:

  • Oxidation (C102, Swern, periodate, Cr, oxygen and ozone,
    Dess-Martin, peroxides, Hg)
  • Carbanion (Li, Mg, Mn) and Organometallic (Sn, Ge, Pd, Cu, Pt, Ru, Rh, Os)
  • Reduction (hydride, dissolving metal), Hydrogenation/Hydrogenolysis
    (Pd, Pt, Rosenmund, RaNi)
  • Halogenation (SOX2, X2, NXS, PX3) and Dehydrohalogenation
  • Condensation, Hydrolysis, Amination and Esterification
