Congrats to Luna Raineri, Valerio Morlacci, Ana Maria Constantin, Aleksandr Voronov, Giovanni Maestri, Nicola Della Ca' & Luca Capaldo for pushing it through 👏 💪

Our paper on the use of aliphatic aldehydes as CO surrogates got selected by the Editorial Board of Green Chemistry as 🔥HOT ARTICLE 2025🔥 💡 🔗 Have a look at the collection: rsc.li/gc-hot25 📰 link to the original paper: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… @green_rsc

Hey y'all, happy holiday season ! ❄️🎄❄️ See you on the other side 😉 #rest

Interested in sugar modifications? Our solvent-free Wittig reaction via mechanochemistry is out in @ChemSusChem! 📄 doi.org/10.1002/cssc.2… Thanks to @Schnuerchlab for hosting and for making me part of it, and to #Nina, #Christoph, @TemplJohanna & #Christian for the support!

A huge thanks to our collaborators #AndreaPrati and the #IMPLAb for the ML part and also to @PaoloPMazzeo for the amazing work at the #i11 line at the @DiamondLightSou synchrotron facility.

New @chemrvix preprint! In our work, we resorted to Machine Learning to uncover a more sustainable set of conditions for the #johnsoncoreychaykovsky reaction! Big thanks to our collaborators 🙌🏻 Link: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Say hello to our new PhD students: #Giulio, #Amy, #Ester and #Nikos (from left) 🎉 Welcome to the group and best of luck for these three years together! ✨ #newbies #PhD

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/D5GC03… 👉 full story: syncatlab.com/post/from-dead…

🎉 Congratulations to our students Sofia, Rocco and Martina that today successfully defended their thesis! We are so happy for them and for having them in our group🧪

Oxazolidinones are a class of compounds often used as pharmaceuticals. 💊 At @SynCatLab, we’ve recently published a method to obtain them mechanochemically, using sodium bicarbonate instead of gaseous CO₂! 👉 Check out the article: …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cs…

Here we are!! 💡In latest our #OL we present an EnT-Mediated [2+2]-Dearomatization of Heterocyles! Congratulation Maurizio and Carlotta!! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Just wrapped up an energizing Syncat event: paintball match! 💥 We walked away with more clarity, more connection, and more power to build together. Onward and upward, team ! #TeamWork #Syncat #Momentum

Oooohhhh….! Future chemists 🧑‍🔬 👩‍🔬 mixing up the potions and magic in atoms, hehehy… and Summer vibes at @SynCatLab 🧪 🧪🧪🧪🧪

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/chemrxi… #mechanochemistry #sugar

💥 Check out some decarbonylative strategies from the team! Today, we propose aliphatic aldehydes as #CO surrogates via photocatalyzed Hydrogen Atom Transfer! Now on #chemRxiv: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi… 👩🏻‍🔬@Lu_Raineri @MorlacciValerio @constantinAnaM #decarbonylation #HAT

New paper accepted in @ChemSusChem 📰 "A Telescoped Strategy for the Preparation of Five-Member Hetero- and Carbocycles via Hydrogen Transfer Atom" 🚨 If you're curious about the synthesis of pyrroles, thiophenes, and cyclopentenones, be sure to check⬇️ doi.org/10.1002/cssc.2…

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 💡

🚨New paper! With @PhotogreenLab , we introduce HAcTive - a strategy that: ✅ Boosts efficiency ✅ Reprograms selectivity ✅ Enables generation of electrophilic radicals 📄 Read more: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
