Our latest paper was published in BCSJ.“Redox-potential-controlled intermolecular [2 + 2] cycloaddition of styrenes for the regio- and diastereoselective synthesis of multisubstituted halogenocyclobutanes”.Congratulations Mizutani-san! #OpenAccess .

Synthesis of rigidified cyclohexanes enabled by visible-light-induced trifluoroacetylsilane-mediated [2+2] cycloaddition of cyclopropenes.

Looking for a PhD? We have a joint PhD project with @KaasikChem for the recently opened MSCA COFUND doctoral programme INNOCHEMBIO to explore novel cycloadditions⭕️ Check out the details at #INNOCHEMBIO #MSCA #COFUND #PhD @Chemistry_AU  @TallinnTech

Cycloaddition Reactions

Excited to share our paper on a visible-light-responsive cage is now out in @J_A_C_S!.Replacing cage vertices with visible-light-active metal complexes enabled sensitization under confinement and highly selective (catalytic) [2+2] cycloadditions.

Experimenting w/ how OMol-eSEN-sm-cons handles 4+2 cycloadditions, and generated a very aesthetically pleasing PES:
