Excited to share our Chem. Soc. Rev. paper on greener-by-design fine chemicals! 🌱🌱 A joint effort by Italian, German, British, Slovenian & Belgian teams. Congrats to PhD student Jonas Wuyts (ORSY) & all co-authors! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… Check out the front cover!

🔬Modular access to spiro[2.3]hexanes! New sulfonium salts enable JCC-type reactions to build oxa- & diazaspiro[2.3]hexanes-rigid, sp³-rich bioisosteres. 🚀Supported by in silico prediction + in vitro validation by @Luisi_Lab - @angew_chem - Wiley Online Library onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

📄New Preprint: We report a radical disconnection strategy that enables the direct, single-step, photocatalytic conversion of α-amino acids into differentiated vicinal diamines. Broad scope, functional-group tolerant, and scalable in flow. 🔗@ChemRxiv: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

🔔Interested in strained spirocycles as potential bioisosteres? 🔔 Our recent @angew_chem describes our approach for the modular synthesis of spiro[2.3]hexanes and our in silico & in vitro investigation of their potential bioisosterism! @Luisi_Lab onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

An interesting skeletal construction method published in Nature: nature.com/articles/s4158… A similar approach, published 75 years ago, still seems to be more convenient (although may be less tolerant): orgsyn.org/demo.aspx?prep…

After 50 years, radical chemistry returns to Italy! 🇮🇹 Bologna will host 𝗜𝗦𝗢𝗙𝗥-𝟭𝟰 (7–10 Jun 26), the international symposium on free radicals Cutting-edge science, world leaders, and unforgettable radical chemistry! 🔗isofr14.it #ISOFR14 #Chemistry #Radicals

Just wrapped up JISOC2025 — the Japanese–Italian Symposium on Organic Chemistry 🇯🇵🤝🇮🇹 A huge honor to host outstanding Japanese and Italian scientists in Bari. Inspiring talks and posters all around! Thanks to all participants and the amazing @Luisi_Lab team! @farmuniba
