How can we make pharmaceutical synthesis greener and more efficient? In this episode of Innovate and React, we dive into the world of organic chemistry with Dr. Nikolas Jankowski to explore an alternative to gold catalysis. While gold catalysts are known for their high selectivity and efficiency, their cost, environmental impact, and challenges in industrial applications call for new solutions. Nick shares his research on acid-promoted cyclization using hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) as a unique solvent, mimicking some of the effects of metal catalysts. We discuss the breakthroughs that led to a more efficient synthesis of oxazoles, molecules with promising pharmaceutical applications. Tune in as we uncover the intersection of fundamental research, reaction optimization, and the future of sustainable chemistry.
