📢 Opportunities to join our team
Out now in @NatureChemistry! Photocat ♻️💡 activation of alcohols via alkoxy sulfonium salt formation gives alkoxy radicals that couple with alkenes to give prods of 1,2-difunctionalization - also on kg-scale in flow. Congrats to Huaibo and team!
Out now in @J_A_C_S! Biocatalytic activation ♻️ of benzothiophenes as their S-oxides using an engineered S-oxygenase "switches on” dearomatizing cross-couplings to set stereogenic centres or axes. Congrats to Órla and Emily and team!👇
Check out our recent review of approaches to catalysis with the one and only SmI2, published in @angew_chem! We hope this in-depth look 🔎 into Sm(II) catalysis can guide future research that completes the reagent’s reinvention. Congratulations to Jack!👇
Out in @angew_chem! Our latest take on metal-free cross-coupling & an app in drug synthesis! Alpha amido sulfonium salts, formed direct from arylacetamides & sulfoxides, undergo sigmatropic rearr to give products of arene C-H-type functionalization Great work team! 🔗👇
Interested in strain-release and bioisostere synthesis? Check out our new Sm(II)-catalyzed ♻ process in @angew_chem! Sm(II)-catalyzed strain-release coupling of housane ketones with alkenes give decorated norbornanes not easily made by trad methods. Congrats to the team! 🔗👇
Check out our article in @angew_chem! Nitroarene-enabled photo C-H oxidation 💡 allows us to use ‘inert’ sulfides as direct precursors of aldehydes/ketones. We showcase in one pot processes to amines, alkenes and alcohols! Thank you Valentina for all your hard work! 🔗👇
