Philip Wheeler, shares his insights into ‘Bond Disconnections Enabled by Metathesis’.

In 2019, we hosted the inaugural ‘Umicore Catalysis Symposium’ featuring a renowned line-up of industry thought leaders sharing their insights into the latest developments in homogenous catalysis technologies. 

To celebrate the success of the event, we’re looking back at one of our highlights: Philip Wheeler, Business Development Manager at Umicore PMC’s presentation on ring closing metathesis (RCM) reactions.

Here, he examined the growing importance of alkene metathesis reactions within the pharmaceutical industry, as a key enabler in the synthesis of complex and simple molecules.
