General description

Learn More at the Professor and Product Portal of Professor Bruce Lipshutz.
This product aligns with one or more of the 12 Principles of Green ChemistryThis product TPGS-750-M is a lead surfactant for many transition metal-catalyzed cross-couplings and has been enhanced for catalytic efficiency. Find details here.

Application

On the Way Towards Greener Transition-Metal-Catalyzed Processes as Quantified by E Factors
Nonionic amphile used to increase aqueous solubility of lipophilic catalysts and substrates. Olefin metathesis, Sonogashira, Suzuki-Miyaura, and Buchwald cross-coupling reactions have been successfully performed in aqueous media employing TPGS-750-M.
Second generation amphiphile which forms micelles upon dissolution in water allowing a variety of cross-coupling reactions to take place in water instead of organic solvent.

Included among the possible reactions are:
  • Olefin metathesis
  • Pd-catalyzed cross coupling reactions including Heck, Suzuki-Miyaura, Sonogashira and Buchwald-Hartwig reactions
  • C-H activation reactions

Second generation amphiphile for cross-coupling reactions in water
