We’re really excited to disclose the final version of our protocol to synthesise benzenes from pyridines in a single operation via an N to C switch, now online (and open access) @Chem_CP. Congrats to Aife for her solo efforts on this project! cell.com/chem/fulltext/S2451…

Just accepted in @angew_chem, we report an amide linked, photocatalytic STR biaryl synthesis that can be telescoped to achieve a challenging C-N arylation of anilines. Check out @Tom__Sephton's work here! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

New paper hot off the press! We report a system that uses anilines to aminoarylate alkynes, furnishing complex enamine products in a single step. Congrats to Zi for all her work on this! @ChemCommun pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

Just out in @JOC_OL, we leverage an aryne-enabled Smiles-Truce rearrangement for the cascade synthesis of biaryls. Congrats to Ani and Danielle for their hard work! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

"In the end, it would probably be better with a carbon instead, give me the black paint" Check out this article from @greaneygroup! It describes how to replace your nitrogen with carbon! @UoMChemistry #SciArt ⌬ #Research ⌬ #Chemistry
Out now in Chemrxiv, we're excited to report a simple protocol for the direct synthesis of benzenes from pyridines, through an N to C switch. Congrats to Aife for her work on this project! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv…

This has been a truly collaborative effort, big congrats to everyone involved, @itudakos and @Tom__Sephton for their work over the past 18 months, alongside @Trujillo_Group and the Butterworth group and finally @lifearc1 for the sponsorship. Check it out!

Very happy that our cobalt catalysed reductive coupling of dienes and pyridines is online now @angew_chem! Congratulations to the whole team for their hard work! doi.org/10.1002/anie.2023106…

Really excited to share this! It's a reaction that I've had a lot of fun with and was a great project to work on. Check it out over a coffee!

Greaney, Butterworth, and coworkers report a new synthesis of valuable pyrrolidinone scaffolds from widely available reagents via Smiles-Truce cascade. Check it out in #OrgLett @greaneygroup @lifearc1 @tom__sephton pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
