Excited to share our pre-print showing that Al salen complexes enable enantioselective photocyclization of acrylanilides by energy transfer catalysis (EnT)! This complements our earlier light-enabled deracemization by SET! https://t.co/u2u42ONNV8

Albeit of significative recent pharmaceutical interest, there is an almost complete absence of asymmetric methods to deliver enantioenriched, axially chiral N-aryl quinazolinediones. Posed with the...

Licht macht sichtbar, setzt in Szene & erzeugt Stimmung. Doch wie lässt es sich erforschen & welche Rolle spielt es für den 3D-Druck @xolo3D? In der neuen #AskDifferent-Folge steckt uns Einstein-Professor @SHechtlab @HumboldtUni mit seiner Faszination an: https://t.co/md7Tr7UR0T

Chemists developed a novel concept in which a mixture of molecules that behave like mirror images is converted to a single form. To this end, they use light as external energy source. #Chemistry @GilmourLab @Nature @dfg_public

Check out our latest Deracemization of Cyclopropanes using Al Salen Complexes in @Nature. What a journey and exciting project, started this as a grad student in @GilmourLab and it turned into an amazing team effort. Thanks to everyone!
Huge milestone for the group as our "Light Enabled Deracemization of Cyclopropanes by Al Salen Photocatalysis" is published @Nature! Congratulations to Carina, @tobiasmorack, Julia, Olga, Niklas, @LichtMuck, @GDaniliuc & Johannes! @WWU_Muenster #OpenAccess

Great teamwork in @ScienceMagazine this week as @JonasRein_ & @sorenrozema pair up with collaborators in @SongLinLab @MillerGroupYale & @Sigman_Lab to showcase the benefits of optimizing catalysts on *median ee* across a range of diols for desymmetrization
science.org
Optimizing a catalyst based on median enantiomeric excess across a diverse substrate pool broadens its applicability.
