An electrochemical approach to the classic Swern oxidation converts alcohols to aldehydes and ketones at room temperature, eliminating the need for dangerous reagents and extreme conditions.

Meet eCarbonyls (aka eSwern) from our lab #UniofGreenwich!
No smell (if you work cleanly!), no cryogenics, no oxalyl chloride. Just clean aldehydes at room temp using electricity.
Yes, we have that in stock for you!
