Chemical Synthesis Shared Resource (CSSR)
The CSSR offers a broad spectrum of chemical synthesis, analytical chemistry, and analysis of chemical reactivity. CSSR provides consulting and project planning, especially planning for research grant applications. Data evaluation for the use of CSSR compounds, editing, and publishing support is provided as part of the service to MECC members. CSSR is equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentations to perform demanding chemical reactions including Schlenk techniques, low temperature, photochemical, chiral synthesis, organometallics, carbohydrates, peptides, pressure reactions, isotopic labeling, and microwave-stimulated chemistry. CSSR services in chemical synthesis are custom tailored to solutions for each MECC investigator. From simple reagent synthesis of a reference compound to collaboration throughout an entire project, CSSR aids in preparation of the grant application to the published work. All chemical needs and problems are addressed on an individual level.
