Rene Koenigs group demonstrates that #photocatalysis leverages amination reactions via free nitrene intermediates to allow for intermolecular amination reaction of allenes #RealTimeChem cell.com/chem-catalysis…

Great news from our group in the last week before Christmas: our 10th research article this year is online in J Org Chem/Org Lett #OrgLett! Make sure to check out this collaboration with Rene Koenigs Gem-Difluoroallylation of Aryl Sulfonium Salts pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

In a very nice lecture by Rene Koenigs, Rene Koenigs at #ISCNC2023 we learn how to combine carbene chemistry with photochemistry, giving rise to surprizing selectivities.

Very excited to share the nitrene-based Pauson-Khand-type reaction on ChemRxiv! Hopefully of interest to all med chemists, as it yields bicyclic bioisosteres of piperidine, morpholine, and piperazine. Beautiful reactivity, yet simple to perform. doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

We have two full-time PhD vacancies starting Jan 2024, in organic synthesis & catalysis. Eligible candidates interested to work in modular organic scaffold synthesis using redox catalytic systems, are encouraged to apply through the IIT Mandi portal.👇 iitmandi.ac.in/pdf/admissions…
