Many products you use everyday are the direct result of synthetic innovation in organic chemistry. The McQuade group is interested designing catalysts to aid in more efficient synthetic transformations. n We are especially interested in the effect of adding various catalysts together in one flask or designing multi-catalyst systems. This presentation looks at the effect of placing proline and a small molecule urea in the same reaction vessel on aminoxylation and aldol reactions. n
