We’ve been dreaming of this type of conjugation chemistry for years—and finally, a simple fix to a stubborn problem, all thanks to just a tiny drop of CS₂. Minimalist chemistry is the new gold. ✨
We present an amine-differentiating amide synthesis using an sp-carbon-activated ester. The bulky TIPS group prevents unwanted reactions while allowing for easy removal, facilitating post-modifications like click reactions and peptide-drug conjugations.

Finally it’s official: Our manuscript on a new reagent for C-atom transfer is out @ScienceMagazine! Diazo transfer from N2O gives access to Ph3PCN2 a versatile reagent. Big congratulations to the team! @TU_Dortmund@ERC_Research@AvHStiftung@phosphorchem https://t.co/kCyZfh6znq
It’s Men’s Health Week, remember this 🩵
Men,
It’s okay to cry.
It’s okay to show emotion.
It’s okay to be emotional.
It’s okay to feel sad.
It’s okay to be okay.
It’s okay to not be okay.
It’s okay to feel.
It’s okay to grieve.
It’s okay to tell someone you’re struggling.
It’s okay to talk.
It’s okay to struggle.
It’s okay to fail.
It’s okay to feel lost.
It’s okay to talk about your mental health.
Gold-Catalysed Heck Reaction: Fact or Fiction?
Preprint out now: https://t.co/FNRUQcABIF
No evidence for literature claims of gold catalyzed alkene insertion, β-H elimination or chain walking!

In 1955, John Sheehan🇺🇲 first reported the use of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) as a coupling reagent for the synthesis of peptides.

Sheehan achieved the synthesis of penicillin V in 1957, one of the most challenging chemistry problems at that time.
