Prof. In Su KIM and his research team at SKKU successfully invented a ‘Catalytic Grignard Synthesis’ that is low cost, has high efficiency, and is environmental friendly.
According to the team, the Grignard Synthesis is the most common method used in organic synthesis and medicine production, and has been used for over 100 years. However, mass production was considered ‘difficult’ due to the managing process and some metal residuals.
From the synthesis invented by the team, direct bonds between compounds are possible without explosive reagent, and the metal residuals are minimized. Prof. KIM explained that this study was devoted to increasing efficiency in medicine production, and to minimize issues regarding the environment and safety.
