Evonik and LIKAT achieve breakthrough in carbony-lation chemistry

摘要

A research team with leading participation of Evonik has achieved a breakthrough in the field of carbonylation chemistry. Carbonylation is one of the most important types of reaction in the chemical industry. It involves the catalyzed introduction of a CO group (car-bony 1 group) into organic compounds. For more than 60 years, science and industry had been looking for a way to implement the now successful reaction step.
