Our latest work on Dual-Function Reagents is now out in @ChemCommun. Thank you to the editors for the highlight in their Emerging Investigator Collection 🙇 Fantastic work led by Katherine Marris 🥼 Great team effort @UoSChem_ChemEng, @AstraZeneca 🎉 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

Switchable N–H vs. C3–H carboxylation of indoles using dual-function reagents

The carboxylation of indoles through a CO2 transfer reaction with carboxylate salts is described. By altering the reaction conditions either N–H or C3–H carboxylation can occur. The reaction is also...

Our work on Decarboxylative Metal-Halogen Exchange is out now in JACS Au @ACSPublications 🙌 Brilliant work by Danny Ryder 🥼 and a great collaboration with @KenYamazaki5 💻 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

Aryl Halide Carboxylation via Decarboxylative Metal–Halogen Exchange

A unique mode of metal–halogen exchange is reported for the carboxylation of aromatic halides. The process is mediated by the potassium salt of a commercially available carboxylic acid, which acts as...

Check out the robustness screen in the SI too - it nicely illustrates the tolerance that this metal-halogen exchange-type process has towards ketones, nitriles, alkyl halides and more! 💪

A Para-Selective Kolbe-Schmitt Reaction out now in @angew_chem 🚨 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… No need for high-pressure CO2, excessive temperatures or stringently dry conditions. Our carboxylating reagent unlocks a simple Kolbe-Schmitt-type reaction with unique para-selectivity.

A Para‐Selective Kolbe–Schmitt Reaction

Discovered over 150 years ago, the Kolbe–Schmitt carboxylation has established itself as one of the most well-known chemical reactions. However, the process often requires extreme pressures and high...
