Dual ligand systems for cross-coupling of challenging C(sp2) and C(sp3) electrophiles.
TS-059018 — An unusual series of ligand exchange reactions establishes a dualcatalyst system for electroreductive alkyl-aryl cross-electrophile couplings of previously incompatible substrate combinations.
Cross-electrophile coupling (XEC) reactions of aryl and alkyl electrophiles are desirable methodologies for C–C bond formation but are limited to specific substrate classes. Couplings of widely-available electrophiles such as aryl chlorides or triflates are currently unknown with any alkyl b…

Development of a Single Component Methacrylate Adhesive Formulation
TS-042066 — A novel hybrid adhesive that combines the non-toxic, high strength properties of methacrylate adhesives with the bonding characteristics of polyurethanes
Despite the utility of methacrylate adhesive chemistry, applications have been limited to industrial and biomedical use cases. This is due to the curing mechanism, which is initiated by either heat, light or a two-component redox system. This invention describes two strategies to create a single-c…

Alcohol Production from Carbon Dioxide
TS-014972 — An electrochemical process on a metal electrode catalyst is used to produce alcohols such as ethanol, ethylene, propanol, acetic acid, ethane, and formic acid from the direct conversion of carbon dioxide
In the United States, there is an increasing interest in ethanol as an alternative fuel source to decrease the dependence on fossil fuels. In 2012, the National Corn Growers Association reported that 27.3% of the corn harvested in the U.S. was used for the production of ethanol. This has sparked a…
