Yannick Keuthen joins the group!
Yannick joins the group from Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität, Münster. He will be working with us on trying to bend arynes this way or that. Welcome, Yannick.
Tobias Kaper joins the group!
We welcome Tobias Kaper to the group, who joins from Carl von Ossietzky Universität of Oldenburg via the Erasmus scheme. Tobias will work on a joint project between the Dyrager group and our group.
Our JOC on converting arylboronic acids into arynes is published!
Congratulations to Karthik, Fredric and Carina! Our study on how to use arylboronic acids as de facto aryne precursors is published in J. Org. Chem. Moreover, it's been selected for the ACS Editor's Choice page!
Our review on Weinreb amide directing groups is published!
Congratulations to Jagadeesh, whose second paper in our group is accepted in Molecules. We are grateful to Professor Szostak for inviting us to contribute to the Special Issue on amides.
Klaudia joins the group!
