Vuk, Ed and Eléna’s article on HFIP-assisted dehydrative Friedel-Crafts reactions of highly deactivated benzylic alcohols has been accepted for publication in Angewandte Chemie International Edition. It is Vuk’s first paper from his PhD and Eléna’s last. Congrats!
Congrats to Eléna Wolf on successfully defending her thesis! She is the first PhD student to graduate from the group. Eléna will join BASF’s JONAS research network.
Our study on azidation of tertiary aliphatic alcohols co-catalyzed by nitro compounds and Bronsted acids has been published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Congrats, Marian, Malik, Eléna and Florian!
Our combinatorial strategy for uncovering in situ generated catalysts by screening mixtures of precatalysts and ligands has been published in Chemical Science. Congrats, Eléna and Ed!
Congrats to Eléna Wolf for winning the best talk award at the REGIO Symposium in Sornetan, Switzerland. The whole group attended and had a great time.
Our paper on chemoselectivity in alcohol activation is published in OBC. Congrats Malik, Florian, Eléna and Marian!
