In @Nature, we show that alkyl thianthrenium salts can be used as metal carbene precursors with a great safety profile! Iron- and copper-catalysed cyclopropanations (even on 100 mmol scale!), bond insertions, rearrangements — alkyl–TT salts do them all!

🚀 New paper! A new Pd–Br/ValleyPhos catalyst enables the first highly regio- and enantioselective alkoxycarbonylation of unactivated alkenes. Broad scope, excellent selectivity, and new opportunities for asymmetric carbonylation chemistry.

@ERC_Research Many strong proposals never reach Step2, yet are penalised with multi-year bans—especially with retroactive effect and within strict eligibility rules.
In practice, this risks discouraging high-risk proposals that are easier to miss at Step1—the very ones ERC is meant to support.
@sunojchemlab@Chemistry_IITB@iitbombay Thank you for the hospitality and for sharing such amazing science. Learned a great deal not only in org chem, but also in the ML/RL approaches you apply, from reaction-mechanism elucidation to complex reaction systems and to personalised medicine and beyond. A pleasure to visit.
@GroupGanesh@IITKgp Thank you, Ganesh, very much for the warm welcome and hospitality. I enjoyed the discussions with the group and appreciated the chance to learn more about the work happening in the department. It was a pleasure to visit, and I look forward to future interactions.
@msm_lab@IITKgp@GroupGanesh@modhumaji Thank you, Modhu and Ganesh, for the warm welcome and thoughtful discussions. I very much enjoyed meeting the teams and was impressed by the work of your groups and the department more broadly. And thanks to @GroupGanesh for the coordination and the hospitality during the visit!
@ATBijuLab@ChemCambridge@bhunia_anup@KishoreNatte@ASau_Chem Thank you Biju for the warm hospitality and the great conversations! It was a real pleasure to visit and to see all the exciting science happening at the IISc Bangalore! Congratulations to the whole institute — truly inspiring research. I’m already looking forward to coming back!
🚀 The Dydio Lab @CambridgeChem is recruiting PhD students for Oct 2026!
Work with us on catalysis, reaction networks & complex chemical systems — where mechanism meets creativity.

We are excited to share our new work on one carbon alkene homologation. We can iteratively homologate terminal and internal alkenes in simple and complex molecules using this method. Great work by Marcus that opens up lots of exciting opportunities for us. https://t.co/dvTgvTQxNl
