Highlighting the Science Magazine article by Rene Koenigs Fang Li 李方 Wenxin Felix Zhu ClaireEmpel Mykhailiuk Chem 🇺🇦 Proschak Lab and co-workers

Do not forget it! We want to meet you here in Padova this Summer ☀️🌈🌊

We are looking for a new colleague. The application timeline ends in a couple of days on February 14. Feel free to reach out for additional information.

A super-fun collaboration between Prof. Rene Koenigs and Enamine scientists O. Datsenko & Mykhailiuk Chem 🇺🇦 This study offers a surprisingly selective alternative pathway in which triplet nitrenes react with compounds bearing two double bonds! (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…)

ChemRxiv ClaireEmpel Rene Koenigs Mykhailiuk Chem 🇺🇦 Proschak Lab Fang Li 李方 So trilled that the final version of this study is now published in Science Magazine!
It is about one reactivity to forge all rings: bicyclic bioisosteres of piperazine, morpholine, and piperidine. In case you are interested: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

SAVE THE DATE! The 1st edition of the International School in Photocatalysis and Biocatalysis ( #PHOTOCAT24 ) will be held in Padova on June 2nd-7th 2024. Fantastic line-up of speakers and amazing venue! Check it out! photocat24.com

We also highlight a Nature Communications paper by Rene Koenigs and colleagues that combines theory and experimentation to study photochemical and photocatalytic nitrene reactions with olefins (rdcu.be/cHl3a). nature.com/articles/s4358…

Rhodium-catalyzed CH methylation reactions with #diazoalkanes in Chemistry . TMS-diazomethane proves as a simple and readily available methylating agent. Congratulations to ClaireEmpel Sripati Jana, PhD and Tim …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

Divergent amination reactions with monovalent nitrogen species using visible light. Really excited to share our latest research in Nature Communications. Congratulations to Yujing and Chao! #photochemistry #RWTH nature.com/articles/s4146…

Celebrating our 1st paper of 2022, just-accepted in Angewandte Chemie, on HFIP-assisted carbonyl-olefin metathesis doi.org/10.1002/anie.2… with first author @TuongToUNSW and longtime collaborator Rene Koenigs. 2 bottles of Scotch were harmed in the process #ozchem
