Ozonolysis Reinvented

Your browser does not support iframes.

Ozonolysis is a fundamentally important oxidation reaction, which has never been fully adopted due to the safety concerns with performing the process. Its main importance stems from the fact that you can selectively oxidize double or triple bonds to form hydroxyl groups, aldehydes, or carboxylic acids in the presence of other oxidizable groups. Other conventional oxidative methods are not so selective, are slower to react, require addition of water or need purification to eliminate side products leading to lower yields.

The O-Cube™ is a ground breaking flow reactor from ThalesNano designed to make ozonolysis and other low temperature reactions easier and safer to perform. The O-Cube™ makes ozonolysis safe enough to be performed in any lab environment by any level of chemist, so companies need not avoid or work around this important process any longer.

ThalesNano will be hosting a free 45 minute webinar on Ozonolysis Reinvented. The webinar will be educational and will focus on teaching chemists a novel way of performing ozonolysis making it easier, faster, and safer.

Date: 24th September 2009

First broadcast |9:00 AM - 10:00 AM CEST| (Budapest time)
Second broadcast |4:00PM - 5:00 PM CEST| (Budapest time)

Who should attend:

  • Organic chemists from pharmaceutical, fine chemical, and chemical industries.
  • Chemists interested in discovering innovative techniques that can open up new chemistries that were previously restricted due to safety concerns.
  • Chemists interested in utilizing ozonolysis more in their chemistry.

The webinar will be presented by Richard Jones, Director of Product Management and Dr. Attila Wootsch, Head of Chemistry, and will give an overview of how ozonolysis can be performed faster and safer by applying flow methodology.

What will be covered:

  • Ozonolysis using flow: background and advantages over present day techniques.
  • Detailed chemistry of ozonolysis performed in flow from literature and in-house examples.
  • Ozonolysis examples performed at room temperature instead of at -78°C.

Ask questions:
Participants can ask questions during and after the presentation in written form and they will be read out to the presenter.
