@zografos_alex @victorstork Thanks Alex!!

Dehydrogenation is often the endgame.

We see it as a stepping stone toward the net oxidation of C–H bonds!

Excited to share our latest Nature Communications paper with @YulabJin!

These natural products were isolated from fungi, plants in England, Netherlands, Taiwan and Spain. We need to make a few from Argentina too so we have both from the final in World Cup.

[Yulab @YulabJin]

Remote site selective C-H oxidation via dehydrogenation led to efficient semisynthesis of 10 natural products isolated in Spain, England, Netherlands, Taiwan. Great collaboration with a Brazil team @eluccajr: https://t.co/WNwTontQv1

This strategy also unlocks the selective oxidation of sterically hindered C–H bonds, overcoming a long-standing challenge in C–H oxidation.

Congratulations to @victorstork for leading this outstanding work, and many thanks to all our collaborators!

By overcoming substrate-inherent reactivity through catalyst-controlled, switchable site-selectivity, we accessed oxidation patterns previously unavailable for total synthesis!
This strategy enabled the concise synthesis of 10 diterpenoids in five steps or fewer!

It was so nice to be in Hong Kong at @CUHKofficial. Thanks @GavinCTsui for the amazing hospitality!

[Gavin C. Tsui @GavinCTsui]

Hosted Prof. Emilio Carlos de Lucca Junior (University of Campinas, Brazil) in Hong Kong. How about some tacos and nachos for a change 🌮

[Emilio Carlos de Lucca Júnior @eluccajr]

@GavinCTsui Thanks for having me @GavinCTsui!
I hope I can host you in Brazil in the near future!

@MCWhiteGroup @MassimoBietti @MiquelCostas Building on this concept, we achieve improved step economy and synthetic ideality in late-stage oxidations of complex natural products.

New paper out! 🚀

Solvents are not spectators!

Congrats to @victorstork , Lucas, and Yasmin 👏

@MCWhiteGroup Activation of carbinolic C–H bonds via hyperconjugation with adjacent oxygen often leads to overoxidation.

@MassimoBietti and @MiquelCostas have shown how HFIP can reverse this tendency by flipping substrate polarity. Here, we extend this idea to complex natural products!

Great visit to UNICAMP in Brazil for symposium organized by former @MCWhiteGroup postdoc Prof. Emilio Carlos de Lucca Junior @eluccajr. Wonderful to see great talks by colleagues and get to know the next generation of awesome Brazilian chemists. Obrigado!

[Chemistry at Thieme @thiemechemistry]

Obrigado for the wonderful introduction to #SOSECAB Member @eluccajr. We had the honor of him introducing the Thieme Lecturer @SPellegrinet and Science of Synthesis at the 19th BMOS (Brazilian Meeting on Organic Synthesis) place in Bento Gonçalves.🇧🇷 Happy networking everybody!

Thanks for attending the 4th International Conference on Hydrogen Atom Transfer (iCHAT 2024). Great science and great people. Stay tuned for the next edition!
