Program Overview: Towards mimicking nature's ability in one-pot catalytic synthesis of complex molecules from simple substrates, in an efficient, clean, and sustainable manner
A model system: Enzyme-like one-pot asymmetric catalysis
with non-interpenetrating soluble polymer nanoreactor
How does it work: designed star polymer catalysts allow one-pot combination of normally incompatible catalysts
Control experiments replacing star polymer catalysts with the corresponding small molecule or linear polymer analogs lead to little or no cascade reaction
