Application

  • Sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide, also known as NaHMDS, is a metal dialkylamide reagent that combines both high basicity and nucleophilicity. It is a general reagent used for the enolization of carbonyl compounds.
  • It can be used to prepare phosphonium ylides in Wittig reaction.
  • NaHMDS solution can also be used as a source of nitrogen in aminomethylation and in the synthesis of primary amines from the corresponding alkyl halides.

New Hybridized Multi-Dendrimer Platforms Based on the Supramolecular Assembly Guided by Systematic CNDP Engineering

Dendrimers are macromolecular polymer nanostructures containing symmetrical three-dimensional branching units resembling the branches of trees. These structures have been synthesized for specific objectives by the manipulation of six features referred to as “critical nanoscale design parameters” (CNDPs).

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
