Ligand-directed Selectivity in Copper-catalysed Allylic Amination
A. Malkov (Loughborough University) and N. Fey (University of Bristol) The Dial-a-Molecule network action on “Applying Statistical Methods to Chemistry Research” supported the establishment of a new collaboration between Prof. Andrei Malkov (AM) at Loughborough University, who leads a group of synthetic chemists, and Dr Natalie Fey (NF) at the University of Bristol, an expert …
Staged Dataset for Design of Experiments (DoE)
P. Allan, A. Nordon and C. Jamieson, University of Strathclyde Understanding and optimising reactions is vital in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry to improve product quality and reproducibility. In addition it helps to minimise development costs, batch time and waste. Design of experiments (DoE) is a process used in many industrial and pharmaceutical applications to …
Electrochemically Switchable Catalysts in Flow
Bao N. Nguyen, Charlotte E. Willans, Nik Kapur, (Institute of Process Research & Development, University of Leeds); Christopher Jones, (School of Biological and Chemical Sciences, Queen Mary University of London) Many important catalytic reactions happen through cycles of changes to the oxidation state of the metal catalyst to drive chemical conversion of starting materials to …

Enabling Data Driven Chemistry
Dial-a-Molecule Grand Challenge Institute Rapid reaction analysis has been identified by the Dial-a-Molecule Grand Challenge as an area most in need of a central facility, due to the cost of equipment/instruments, and even more critically, the provision of expertise to provide training in the use and interpretation of data. Such a facility would give access to state-of-the-art …
