Congrats @NidalSaleh @kfzhang_chem, the whole teams from Physical Chemistry, crystallography of @sciences_UNIGE and chiroptical spectroscopy @ripes @ChemUniPi. So nice to work with all of you for this paper.
Chiral Macrocycles, Diastereoselective thiol_ene rxn, Inter vs Intramolecular Excimers, time-dependent Induced ECD, double sign inversion of CPL (glum 0.022) TDDFT and Langmuir-Blodgett films. Enjoy it.@LACOUR_UNIGE @kfzhang_chem @UniGe_OrgChem @angew_chem.

Importantly dedicated to Masahiro Murakami, a master of imino carbene and organometallic reactivity, on the occasion of his 65th birthday. Proud to be part of the special #Synlett cluster edited by @rmartinICIQ
@UniGe_OrgChem Happy of this study allowing direct 8-membered ring syntheses via fully regioselective selection by α-imino carbenes of either O- or N-atoms of oxazolidines. Congrats to Olivier, Alex and Céline
