  1. 1. Biocatalysis in Pickering emulsions

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI)

    Author : Christine Vera Isabel Schmidt; [2023]
    Keywords : Enzymes; Pickering emulsion; Amine Transaminases; Green Chemistry; Stereoselectivity; Biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Employing enzymes as catalysts in the production of chiral amines that are both used as building blocks and active pharmaceutical ingredients might be promising due to milder reaction conditions compared to non-biological catalysts, exclusion of heavy metals, high selectivity towards substrates and precision in chirality of the products. Transaminases are attractive for the use in this process. READ MORE

  3. 2. Computational chemical investigation of factors affecting the reactivity of the hetero Diels-Alder reaction

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Jonas Ståhle; [2012]
    Keywords : computational chemistry; hetero Diels-Alder; functional groups; hydrogen bonding catalyst; density functional theory;

    Abstract : Recent research has shown that small hydrogen bonding catalysts can catalyze the hetero Diels-Alder reaction. In this thesis such hydrogen bonding catalysts in conjunction with varying functional groups and their effect on the hetero Diels-Alder reaction have been investigated. The influence of the different solvents has been investigated as well. READ MORE
