Carina wins a prize for her poster at Organikerdagarna!
Congratulations to Carina, who won a prize for a poster on C-H silylation at the Organikerdagarna conference in Umeå!
Our Ru-catalyzed C-H silylation work is published in Chem. Commun..
Congratulations to Karthik, Carina and our collaborators. It turns out you can use Ru catalysts to C-H silylate heteroarenes with or without directing groups, no elimination of side chains, with no need for protecting groups and, if you look a little closer, you'll glimpse a sneaky C4-H activation of gramines!
Our invited Synpacts article is published
Congratulations to Johanna, Emilien, Karthik and Carina. This Synpacts discusses arynes and the context of our recent work published in Angewandte on the orthogonal activation of boryl aryne precursors.
