Check our latest work in @angew_chem. "Asymmetric Intramolecular α-Arylation of Polar Amino Acids Bearing β-Leaving Groups" (doi.org/10.1002/anie.2025077…)

Asymmetric Intramolecular α‐Arylation of Polar Amino Acids Bearing β‐Leaving Groups

Use of enolate chemistry to functionalise amino acids with β-heteroatom side-chains (serine, cysteine, threonine, etc.) is hampered by β-elimination. We show that α-arylation can be achieved by...

Great to see this work out now in @angew_chem! Take a look to see how we used colour to control conformation in a chemical system containing multiple photoacids🎨🧪. Congratulations to Matthew and the team! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

In a solution of two metastable photoacids with contrasting absorption maxima, the solution pH may be control by varying the wavelength of the visible light input. This pH change governs the intera...
