Proud to share my first paper as corresponding author from my postdoc at @ASTRAZENECAUK. We found a way to make oxa-BCH rings from simple allyl alcohols in a fast cascade reaction, with control of substitution at every position. @ChemicalScience https://t.co/76hrpV94LT

@Glaconde34 @AstraZeneca @NatureComms Thanks very much for the highlight!

Tom and his amides are back at it again! Check out this concept!

@MKadarauch is at it again! An intermolecular 1-naphthol dearomatisation using attractive substrate ligand interactions! Give it a read over a coffee #sSPhos

Was great to see the work come to life!
Congrats to the Phipps team on a great paper. Another testament to the power of cinchona alkaloids 🧪

@greaneygroup @angew_chem @Tom__Sephton Super useful! Nice stuff 😃

[Greaney Group @greaneygroup]

Just accepted in @angew_chem, we report an amide linked, photocatalytic STR biaryl synthesis that can be telescoped to achieve a challenging C-N arylation of anilines. Check out @Tom__Sephton's work here!

@AnnabelBasford @ChemicalScience Great stuff!! 💪🏻

[David Whalley @DavidWorley94]

@greaneygroup @cjoneschemistry @JamesLabChem Well done Tasos!

[David Whalley @DavidWorley94]

@greaneygroup @JOC_OL I remember Danielle working on this system way back when. Cool to see it in out in print!

[David Whalley @DavidWorley94]

Smiles rearrangements at it again 💪🏻

[Patrick Fier @PatrickFier]

Didn’t have a chance to do C-N coupling while I was in the @HartwigGroup, so decided to give it a try and see what it was like. Published in @J_A_C_S

Thomas Wharton: release the amides!

Check out this lovely piece of work from the @SpringGroupChem group on the controlled release of amide containing molecules
