This article is a history of an industrial–academic partnership that started almost two decades ago and details the evolution of a relationship between a small academic research group and a spin-out company located in Portugal. Their activities have ranged from the development of new metal-based catalytic systems for asymmetric epoxidations, allylic alkylations, and arylations to the development of novel cincho...
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are a mixture of two or more components, and at a particular composition, they become liquids at room temperature. When the compounds that constitute the DESs are primary metabolites namely, amino acids, organic acids, sugars, or choline derivatives, the DESs are called natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs). NADESs fully represent green chemistry principles. These solvents are hi...

Without a doubt, asymmetric catalysis has been significantly enriched by the introduction of cinchona alkaloid derivatives. Moreover, such methods have been further enabled when used in conjunction with continuous flow systems. Besides being used in flow chemistry as organocatalysts, they also have been used as ligands or modifiers of metal catalysts. This has generally been accomplished via their immobilizatio...
