Commercialization of helicenes and cannabinoids
The development of multigram photochemical synthesis of helicenes and phenacenes was capitalized on in cooperation with Lach-Ner. Some common derivatives of helicenes have been available through their website since 2013. https://www.lach-ner.cz/heliceny
Between 2014 and 2016, our team contributed significantly to the development of extraction methods for the isolation of cannabinoids from varieties of industrial hemp. The developed know-how has been licensed to cooperating commercial partners who use it to produce cannabinoids.
