Check out our article in @angew_chem! Nitroarene-enabled photo C-H oxidation 💡 allows us to use ‘inert’ sulfides as direct precursors of aldehydes/ketones. We showcase in one pot processes to amines, alkenes and alcohols! Thank you Valentina for all your hard work! 🔗👇

Out now in @ACSCatalysis ! We introduce α-amido sulfonium salts, made direct from amides and DMSO, as partners in metal-free 💡catalytic cross-couplings – amide α-arylation, alkylation and alkenylation. Congrats to Len, Shibo, Wei and Ben! 🔗👇

#ProcterPOW This week comes from former group member @Aron_Peter_; working with @BaranLabReads they report sulfonylhydrazides as bench-stable precursors for redox-neutral radical X-couplings with no external redox modulator like 💡cat. or e-chem required! Well done Áron and team!
