Thrilled to see our first contribution out in @J_A_C_S! @uaitaciano, Roberto, Órla & Ben developed a practical, broad-scope and selective strategy for alkene 1,2-syn-difunctionalization, combining 1,3-DCs with electrochemical radical activation🪡✂️ 📜🔗:pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

The full studies of Tin @TinVTNguyen1, Duncan @DuncanBrownsey and André @ABossonnet on the direct photoexcitation of carbonyl cyclopropanes with computation insights from Mat @mdwodrich have now been accepted in @angew_chem ! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Excited to share the first work of my PhD and the first publication of the @TrowbridgeGroup! Our work on Oxene chemistry is out in @angew_chem. Huge thanks to everyone involved! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

📢An up-to-2 years PDRA👩‍🔬👨‍🔬position is available in our research group, as part of an EPSRC-funded research programme (ALKe-Syn). If you fancy functionalizing hydrocarbons using electricity🔌light💡or both – please apply here: jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetail?… Deadline 31Oct2024 Please RT!

What happens when you irradiate carbonyl cyclopropanes with light? The outcome depend on the substrate, but always via a biradical: if you are curious look at the preprint @ChemRxiv of Tin @TinVTNguyen1 André @ABossonnet Duncan @DuncanBrownsey and Matt go.shr.lc/3WQAdyb

Are you interested to join @LcsoLab for your PhD in Summer/Fall 2024 for a collaborative project in catalysis? Then hurry up: the application process for the last position will close on February 15. (Postdocs sorry: no position left) More information at: epfl.ch/labs/lcso/grou…

Our first publication of the year from Christine and Emmanuelle is just accepted in OL @JOC_OL : A Polonovski strategy for the synthesis of non-natural amino acid and peptide derivatives pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

From @chemrxiv to @J_A_C_S ! The work of @TinVTNguyen1, @ABossonnet and Matt on the Photocatalyzed [2σ + 2σ] and [2σ + 2π] Cycloadditions for the Synthesis of Bicyclo[3.1.1]heptanes and 5- or 6-Membered Carbocycles is now out, thread of a long story 1/4 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

📣Announcing! The 15th European Conference on Organic Free Radicals at @OfficialUoM. Amazing line-up, fantastic venue, low registration fees, poster opportunities. Join David and the local organizers in Manchester in Sept 2024. Registration opening soon! 🌐ecofr-xv2024.net

The work of Nieves @Nieves_P_R @NCCR_Catalysis on the Cu-catalyzed enantioselective 3-component reaction of nucleophiles, diazo compounds and EBX reagents is now accepted @angew_chem ! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

#RSCPoster runner up for the #RSCOrg prize goes to @TinVTNguyen1 Many congratulations! 👏 twitter.com/TinVTNguyen1/s…

Hello everyone! I am happy to share my poster "Electrophile-induced semipinacol rearrangement of cyclopropenyl carbinols" as part of #RSCPoster. Don't hesitate to ask your questions in comments to this post! #RSCPoster #RSCOrg @RoySocChem @LcsoLab

Check out my #RSCPoster on photocatalyzed cycloaddition of cyclopropanes for the synthesis of cyclopenta(e)nes and bicyclo[3.1.1]heptanes as meta-substituted benzene bioisosteres. It was great to work with @ABossonnet on this project in @LcsoLab. @RoySocChem #RSCOrg #RSCCat.

Exciting PhD opportunity in our group looking into sustainable photocatalysis! findaphd.com/phds/project/e…

Second preprint @ChemRxiv this year from @LcsoLab : Nieves @Nieves_P_R presents her results on enantioselective 3CR reactions of EBx, fluorinated diazo compounds and nucleophiles!

How to activate carbonyl cyclopropanes for cycloadditions with light only? Look at the preprint @ChemRxiv of Tin @TinVTNguyen1 and Andre @ABossonnet for access to cyclopent(a)enes and bicyclo[3.1.1]heptanes as meta-substituted benzene bioisosters! doi.org/10.26434/chemr…
