New building blocks for metathesis |
|
The Squarix Newsletter provides you with information about our innovative building blocks, reactive intermediates and screening compounds from our Discovery Chemicals portfolio. |
|
In this issue we present new N-protected Olefin building blocks, especially designed for Ring-Closing Metathesis (RCM) applications. These compounds are derived from natural and unnatural amino acides and not commercially available from other manufacturers. Please find below a sample list of these new building blocks.
