Jozsef Kupai focuses on the synthesis of enantioselective catalysts bearing cinchona alkaloid moieties. His research group applies cinchona-thioureas and squaramides in Michael additions with excellent yields and enantioselectivities. It was necessary to find different methods for the recovery of these catalysts to reach their sustainable application. Therefore, immobilization of cinchonas to different solid supports were achieved. On this conference, he will demonstrate the new immobilization methods of cinchona catalysts to make them appropriate for recovery by different techniques.
