MUMBAI, India, Oct. 31 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411029064 A) filed by Ashoka University, Sonipat, Haryana, on April 10, 2024, for 'a novel cobalt catalyst for organic reactions and process thereof.'
Inventor(s) include Prof. Vidya Dnyaneshwar Avasare.
The application for the patent was published on Oct. 31, under issue no. 44/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "There are many benefits to organometallic catalysis, especially in 5 homogeneous catalysis for C(sp2)-H bond activation and new C-C bond formation reactions. These catalysts, which are mainly transition metal complexes with organic ligands, are very reactive and selective, which increases the range and effectiveness of different synthetic transformations. Their capacity to activate C-H 10 bonds under mild reaction conditions is a key advantage as it allows for the direct C-H alkYlation of aryl ketones without the need for transient functional groups. This reduces utilization of chemicals, cost and energy used in addition to streamlining synthetic routes. Furthermore, complex molecular architectures with high stereo- and 15 regioselectivity may be formed with the help of organometallic homogenous catalysts, making precise synthesis of complex molecules possible. The present catalyst is easy to use, industrially scalable, recyclable, and provides excellent yields of C-H a!kYlated products from nonactivated alkYl halides. The reported methods 20 need the use of excess (2-6 equivalent) of alkYl halides but this catalyst performs the catalytic reaction in the stoichiometric quantities of aryl ketone and alkYl halides."
