Mechanistic studies revealed that 1H-indazole undergoes a photochemical tautomerisation to the 2H-form followed by a rearrangement to benzimidazole.

In this strategy we explore the transient increase of the aromatic basicity after photoexcitation to promote the protonation step, forming an intermediate carbocation which is trapped in situ with Et3N-BH3, by-passing the very low redox potential of aromatics.

Our latest publication in @Chem_CP demonstrates the umpolung Birch-like reduction of naphthalenes by photoexcitation employing a very mild acidic solvent (HFIP) and amine-boranes as reductants with high functional group compatibility ⬇️🔗.

The Birch reaction is a key reaction for increasing sp3 content in organic molecules, but it traditionally requires strong reductants. This article presents a new strategy that reverses the nature of...

@Nature Building on pioneering studies by Pavlik, Maeda, and Vernin, this research demonstrates a way to reconfigure heteroaromatic structures—enabling one ring system to serve as a starting material for synthesizing another.

Excited to share our latest work on chemical permutation, now published in @Nature! Using photochemical conditions, we've developed a method to selectively and predictably transform the structures of thiazoles, isothiazoles, and other azole systems.
