Title Catalytic Asymmetric Hydrogenation: Toward Chiral Diamines and Cyclohexanes

Excerpt As the need for developing environmentally friendly chemistry continues to become more apparent, catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation has risen to the forefront as a reliable and eco-friendly method for enantioselective synthesis. We herein describe our progress toward the synthesis of valuable structural motifs via hydrogenation: chiral 1,2-diamines, 1,3-diamines and substituted cyclohexanes. We propose a strategy whereby […]

Title Commercial Fluorosurfactants and their Metabolites in Human Blood

Excerpt Fluorinated chemicals have the advantage of both lipophobic and hydrophobic behaviour, leading to broad industrial and commercial use. Fluorosurfactants, for example, are used in applications, such as grease-proofing food packaging, which result in human exposure. Human blood serum, in this work 100 German serum samples dating from 1982 to 2009, is a common matrix for […]
