Prof. Frank Glorius, University of Münster, receives the Emil Fischer medal from the GDCH, presented by Prof. Peter Schreiner #orchem2024

230 Posters, 2 Sessions, 1800 bottles of beer and soft drinks #orchem2024. Funding agencies please note: talks 9 am to 6 pm, poster session 6 pm to 9 pm. We are all excited about our science, but we must eat and drink as. Reimbursement for food basic food should be possible.

Good morning #orchem2024. We start with Prof. Tanja Gulder, putting selectively halogens into complex molecules. Rethinking textbook chemistry!

Electrifying #orchem2024 by Prof Cristo Sevov, Ohio State University.

After a well deserved coffee break, #orchem2024 continues with Prof. Markus Kalesse, Hannover on the art of natural product synthesis.

Prof. Lingling Chu, Donghua University, Shanghai gives the EJOC lecture on asymmetric multicomponent radical cross-couplings. #orchem2024

#orchem2024 makes a quantum leap: Prof. Satisfied Maeda, Hokkaido University, predicts reactivity based on Quantum Chemical Calculations.

Award time #orchem2024. Dr. Malte Gersch, TU Dortmund, receives one of the two young investigator Orchem prizes for his work on Ubiquitin.

The second young investigator award goes to Dr. Golo Storch, TU Munich for his work on flavin photochemistry. #orchem2024

Congratulations to both Orchem Prize winners #orchem2024

Good morning #orchem2024. Final day of an exciting meeting, thanks to all speakers, supporters, sponsors, staff and especially to the participants. Great posters last night, choosing poster awards is virtually impossible (more on this later).

The day starts with Prof. Debabrata Maiti, IIT Bombay, on remote C,H-functionalizations. #orchem2024

Think bigger than phenyl or naphthyl in organocatalysis at #orchem2024. Mechanistic insights in organocatalysis by Prof. Hendrik Zipse, LMU Munich.

Last session but not least #orchem2024. Prof. Joanna Wencel-Delord presents alternative approaches towards enantioselective C,H-activation.

Folding up #orchem2024 Prof. Ivan Huc with his fascinating supramolecular structures.

I attended to the excellent workshop, Radical and Electron Transfer Reactions 5th (RETR5) and 4th IDK PEC in the Univ. Regensburg, 6-7 September 2024. Thank you all German organizers for excellent hosting. @KoenigChemistry, Reiser-group

Thank you for attending and you valuable contributions!

Tipping the scales: Rather than the usual [3+2]-cycloadditions with donor-acceptor-cyclopropanes, Andreas, Manuel, and Anna discovered a [4+1]-annulation of pyrrolidinones with thioureas, acting as an N,N-bisnucleophile. doi.org/10.1002/chem.2…. Thanks to RTG2620 for funding.

Thanks to Lea's and Sara's (hidden) talents as a graphic designer, we made it on the journal's back cover. Thank you ChemEurJ: Chemistry - A European Journal for this opportunity. doi.org/10.1002/chem.2…

Turning to the heteroleptic side: Tirtha and Mangsih identified a copper(I) complex for the photocatalyzed ß-chloroacylation broadly applicable to alkenes or alkynes, taking inspiration from NgaiLab (Student Run). Just out on ChemRvix doi.org/10.26434/chemr…
