At OSL, we are dedicated to advancing efficient technologies that leverage feedstock materials to optimize the utilization of renewable resources while minimizing reliance on hazardous chemicals. Our primary focus is the derivatization of small and volatile molecules to generate valuable compounds. We aim to develop a straightforward methodology for synthesizing the desired structural frameworks and to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the associated mechanisms by applying the principles of physical organic chemistry. This encompasses the study of chemical kinetics, the execution of control experiments, and the implementation of labelling experiments. Our principal interest lies in the large-scale synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) through asymmetric catalysis.
