Core Technologies
01
/Metal Catalysis
Refers to chemical reactions catalyzed by metals, typically transition metals such as palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium, and copper. Metals can uniquely activate reactants through their empty orbitals and electrons, enabling many transformations that are difficult to achieve with traditional organic molecules.
Advantages:
- High Atom Economy: Requires low catalyst loading (typically 0.1-1 mol%) and generates minimal by-products.
- High Selectivity: Achieves exceptionally high enantiomeric excess (ee >95%, even >99%).
- Mild Reaction Conditions: Many reactions can be performed at ambient temperature and pressure.
- Broad Applicability: Enables an extremely wide variety of reaction types.
Company Research Focus:
- Asymmetric Metal Catalysis: Direct conversion of prochiral olefins, ketones, and imines into chiral alkanes, alcohols, and amines via hydrogenation reactions.
- Asymmetric Cross-Coupling: Connecting two organic molecular fragments under metal catalysis while simultaneously controlling the stereochemistry of newly formed chiral centers.
- Asymmetric Cycloaddition: Efficient construction of chiral ring systems through reactions such as asymmetric Diels-Alder and [3+2] cycloadditions.

/Electrochemistry
The application of electrochemistry in organic synthesis—often referred to as organic electrosynthesis or electrocatalytic organic synthesis—represents a highly dynamic and cutting-edge field.
Core Concept: Electrons as Reagents
Anode: Provides electrons, initiating oxidation reactions (loss of electrons).
Cathode: Accepts electrons, initiating reduction reactions (gain of electrons).
Key Advantages
- Step Economy: Enables direct complex functional group transformations, avoiding multi-step protection and deprotection sequences.
- Precise Control: Allows for high control over reaction selectivity through precise manipulation of potential, current, and charge.
- Mild Conditions: Many reactions proceed at ambient temperature and pressure, compatible with substances sensitive to strong chemical reagents.
Company Research Focus:
- Asymmetric Electrosynthesis: Integrating chiral catalysts, chiral mediators, or chiral electrodes with electrochemistry to achieve stereoselective electrochemical synthesis.
- Electrochemical Decarboxylative Cross-Coupling

/Enzyme Catalysis
Enzyme catalysis refers to a biocatalytic process that utilizes enzymes—biological macromolecules (typically proteins) with highly efficient catalytic functions—to accelerate specific chemical reactions. As biological catalysts, enzymes achieve exceptional catalytic efficiency and specificity under mild conditions (ambient temperature and pressure, neutral pH), earning them the reputation as "the engines of life."
Key Advantages
- Exceptional Stereoselectivity: Addresses the fundamental challenge in chiral drug synthesis.
- Extremely Mild Reaction Conditions: Protects the structure of complex drug molecules.
- High Catalytic Efficiency and Specificity: Enhances production efficiency and product purity.
- Environmental Friendliness and Sustainability: Aligns with the principles of green pharmaceuticals.
- Enables Reactions Difficult or Impossible with Traditional Chemistry: Includes selective functionalization of inert C-H bonds; precise introduction of oxygen atoms (hydroxylation, epoxidation) into complex molecules; and efficient esterification and amidation in aqueous media (reactions typically requiring dehydrating conditions in conventional chemistry).
