Isomerization with PMC
Catalytic isomerization involves the spatial rearrangement of the molecular backbone of organic molecules without changing the chemical formula. This transformation is widely used throughout the chemical industry and is used to move functional groups within the structural formula. For instance, isomerization is useful for transforming cis-alkenes into trans-alkenes or vice versa. Alternatively, isomerization could occur intramolecularly as a rearrangement reaction and could move alkenes into more favourable positions on the molecular backbone.
At Umicore PMC, we aim to offer catalysts that meet the needs of all our customers, regardless of their individual reactions. We offer a portfolio of platinum, rhodium or ruthenium catalysts that can perform isomerization reactions.
