New from #Kineticolor:

Computer Vision Helps Experimentally Monitor Mixing Effects in Deep Eutectic Solvents

Mixing matters, and you have to monitor it over time…and beware of vessel reaction geometry!

🎥🧪 If you can see it, we can help you measure it.

In our new paper in Chem. Sci., we show that the replacement of one oxygen by one sulfur atom in phospholipids affords phosphorothioate liposomes that penetrate cells by thiol-mediated uptake in intact form and with contributions neither from fusion nor from endocytosis.

We felt a sense of urgency to summarize why mixing matters in synthetic organic chemistry.

Our takeaway: don’t toss those stir bars yet!
The truth is more complex than it may seem.

Steric and electronic tuning of oxoammonium catalysts led to complementary sets of conditions that can oxidize a broad scope of carbamates, sulfonamides, ureas, and amides into the corresponding imides.
