Need for a CO surrogate?🫧 In our last work, we introduce aliphatic aldehydes as a new class of CO photosurrogates, activated under photocatalyzed decarbonylative Hydrogen Atom Transfer (HAT) conditions 👉 Paper:doi.org/10.1039/D5GC03981A 👉 full story: syncatlab.com/post/from-dead…

Aliphatic aldehydes as CO surrogates via photocatalyzed hydrogen atom transfer

The search for safe and practical carbon monoxide (CO) surrogates is central to unlocking the full potential of carbonylation chemistry in academic setting

Excited to share the project I worked on in Vienna — online on ChemRxiv! It’s been a great experience where I learned a lot about the complexity of sugar chemistry. Huge thanks to the team for making it possible! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv… #mechanochemistry #sugar

Mechanochemistry Enables Rapid and Solvent-Free Wittig Reactions on Sugars | ChemRxiv

The development of efficient olefination methods for carbohydrates is of strategic relevance, as sugars are chiral and naturally abundant. They serve as valuable scaffolds in drug discovery and...

Over the moon (literally 😂) to share that the first work I contributed in @SynCatLab, (with @PhotogreenLab) is now online on JacsAu @ACSPublications 🔥 Have a look and see how the longstanding limitations regarding the HAT processes cuold be overcome using this new approach 💡
