Maxim Golfmann

PhD Student @ Walker Group ● IOBC Göttingen ● Organic Chemistry

[Johannes Walker @johannes_walker]

We are hiring! 🔔📝 We have an opening for a new PhD student to join the group to harness photochemistry to make some new bridges bicycle motifs. Application deadline is the 10th July and applications should be sent to the email address given in the advert. Start date is ASAP.

5 more days to apply for the Postdoc position in our group. Come and join us in Göttingen!
(Applications already received will be handled only once the deadline has passed).

**Postdoc in Organic Chemistry** Thanks to funding from the @Boehringer Ingelheim Stiftung, we are able to offer a postdoc position in our group from early next year (some flexibility is possible). The project involves the synthesis of multisubstituted bicyclohexane compounds.

And some fantastic news to end the week. At long last our work on BCBs is out in @ACSCatalysis (link below). What started as an idea on an envelope over 4 years ago and then a "quick project to start your PhD" for Maxim ended up filling almost all of it.

Big congratulations to Erik for his review on ortho- and meta-benzene bioisosteres. My original plan was for it to be a much shorter overview but he went all in and covered the lot! Thanks too to @henloeditorfren for the invitation.

Delighted that our next paper using 2+2 cycloaddition to make BCHs with 11 (!) different substitution patterns has today been accepted in Chemical Science! Congratulations to Marius and Justin and big thanks to Christopher from @AlcarazoLab for his usual excellent X-rays!

Paper No 1 from the group is online @ChemEurJ! Massive thanks to all involved - @MaximGolfmann for spotting the side-reaction and bringing the project home, Antonis for his help at the start, Louis for the fused systems, and Christopher for the X-rays.

First paper from the group is submitted 🥳 A project I never expected to undertake, originating from Maxim observing a side-product during his main project. This work has already spawned more projects and ideas in the group with further results hopefully coming soon!
