Impact/Purpose:
To inform the public.
Description:
The U.S. Environmental Protectiion Agency (USEPA) and Kreido Laboratories have established a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) collaboration, to develop and commercialize green and sustainable chemistries in the area of industrial chemcial synthesis. The STT™ reactor utilizes process intensification techniques to increase the rate, yield, and selectivity of chemical reactions used in producing commercially important materials. A wide variety of organic epoxides were synthesized in moderate to high yields in a spinning tube-in-tube reactor (STT®, Kreido Laboratories, Camarillo California). A systematic evaluation of oxidant and substrate reactivities will be presented.
