ANALYSIS:
SHIMADZU® LC-10ATMonitoring the reactions
Checking the purity of synthesized and previously purified (by column chromatography and/or recrystallisation) target compounds

FINNIGAN® LCQ MS

Electrospray (ESI) and APCI ionization
Full mass spectrum of analytes (Full-scan MS mode)
Molecular weight information on pure compounds
ORGANIC/MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY
RESEARCH:

-Microwave assisted tandem and domino cyclisations
(small molecules; N-containing heterobi- and tricycles)

-Green Chemistry in water
(multicomponent reactions, Ugi- (U-4C), modified Passerini- and Betti- reactions)

These single-mode microwave synthesis systems are used for research in the fields of drug discovery and small molecule synthesis

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
