We are pleased to share our Nat Rev Chem review! We summarize how photo-, electro-, and electrophotochemical strategies are reshaping C–N bond formation, distinguishing them from traditional metal catalysis toward more sustainable synthesis. @natrevchem dlvr.it/TS7DlQ

This is fantastic!
Our postdoc @Willi_Amberg built @SynStrategy a learning tool that categorizes 500 reactions by functional group with 400 total synthesis examples. If you’re into #OrgChem, check it out (it’s free)!

Aluminum: lightest p-block metal with very low electronegativity. Converting Al(III) to Al(I) in stoichiometric reactions is rare. But now, we've made Al redox catalysis a reality! Check it out @nature

📣Our new paper is out in @JACS (our very first one)!🥳
We show how a redox-active ligand unlocks C–X bond scission at an ambiphilic T-shaped Bi(III) compound. A big collaborative effort with my brilliant colleagues from Berlin.

Check out our recent work on aliphatic C-to-N atom swap enabled by NAHA chemistry! This strategy enables access to diverse saturated N-heterocycles from cyclic ketones or cyclic alkanes. See: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv…
