Replace an aromatic carbon with nitrogen, leave the rest of the skeleton the same. A huge first step towards the problem I started my lab to tackle, thanks to Tyler Pearson, Ryoma Shimazumi, Julia Driscoll 🇵🇸, Balu Dherange, and Dong-Il. science.org/doi/full/10.11…

DKPs, (un)natural amino acids and so much more🥳 Check out our latest enzyme-like #photochemical #deracemization for stereochemical editing! Grateful to see the last chapter of my PhD with Bach Lab out now in Angewandte Chemie. Congrats to the whole team! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Our regioselective, catalytic 1,1-difluorination of enynes has just been published in Nature Chemistry! Congratulations to Zi-Xuan, Keith, Carla, Constantin G. Daniliuc & @LichtMuck! Thanks to the European Research Council (ERC) (Consolidator RECON), the Humboldt-Stiftung & Universität Münster nature.com/articles/s4155…

New publication on the photochemical deracemization of 2,5-diketopiperazines out now in Angewandte Chemie! 🥼🌟Congrats to Johannes Großkopf on his great work! #Photochemistry crc_325 doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

Check out this amazing work by my great friend Morgane de Robichon as part of her postdoc in the Bach Lab❤️🥰 proud of you!

Check out our work on alkene dialkylation by sorting not one, not two, but THREE radicals! Great work Johnny and Will! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Now on the ChemRxiv: My lab has tried to develop an enantioselective catalytic Paternò–Büchi reaction for 15 years. Jesse, @tahoefiala, and Wesley Swords took a mechanistically inspired approach to the problem and finally cracked it! doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

Check out our recent paper where we take diols and bromoalcohols to form strained bicyclic, fused, and spirocyclic compounds through a new concept, couple-close. Big thanks to our collaborators at Janssen Pharmaceuticals at Spring House! nature.com/articles/s4158…

17 years in the making.. We are super excited to finally achieve alcohol-alcohol cross-coupling enabled by the powerful SH2 radical sorting! Great work Jerry, Nick, Jay, James, Colin and Robert. Big shout out to our collaborator Jesus from Janssen Spain. science.org/doi/full/10.11…

Exciting news ahead! Our project CALIDE on Catalytic Light-induced Deracemization reactions has been selected for an ERC Advanced Grant 🙌💡

Huge thanks to Torsten Bach along with Daniel and Tim and all the folks at TU Munich who hosted me today and showed up in their German strips. Really hoping your generosity extends to the Scotland Germany game tomorrow night!!

Congratulations to our German postdoc Johannes Grosskopf (Johannes Großkopf) who has been awarded the 2024 Albert-Weller award by the German Chemical Society GDCh Division of Photochemistry for his outstanding contributions to photochemistry as a young academic. Well done, Johannes!

Once again a big thank you to the local chair and main organiser Prof. Christoph Kerzig (JGU Mainz)! Christoph Kerzig It was a very successful conference. 😀 Congratulations also to all the winners.

Excited to see our postdocs, Morgane and Biki, presenting their research at #LCP2024 by GDCh Division of Photochemistry! 🎉 Great to catch up with our PhD alumni Johannes Großkopf, who just won the Weller Award for his outstanding PhD thesis! Congrats!🌟#Photochemistry #ScienceCommunity GDCh

Proud to announce that Thorsten Bach has been awarded this year's Ryoji Noyori Prize by the 有機合成化学協会 for his contribution to asymmetric photochemistry! 💡😁 ssocj.jp/en/award/ryoji…

Check out our latest work in JACS— Access to a nucleophilic Fe(I) complex allows for activation of 1° electrophiles via an SN2-type mechanism. Subsequent SH2 bond formation enables all-carbon quaternary centers. Congrats Andria, Felix, Wei, and Marissa! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Generalizing arene C−H alkylations by radical−radical cross-coupling nature.com/articles/s4158…

Want to selectively couple two radicals?... You're in luck! Check out our newest work in Nature where we use dynamic orbital selection to unlock alkylation of native aryl C–H bonds. Congrats to Johannes Großkopf, Charlene, Robert, and Alex! Read more at: nature.com/articles/s4158…
