C-H oxygenation via nitrene chemistry? Yes, quite surprising! Checkout our newest work in Angewandte Chemie. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Interesting work from Murakami lab in @J_A_C_S on photoinduced carboxylation of C-H bonds with carbon dioxide. Works with simple alkanes such as cyclohexane. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Nice Glühwein at the Marburg Chirstmas Market after discussing research with Keisuke Umakoshi and Masanari Kimura (both Nagasaki University). Thank you for having visited us in Marburg!
