Poster/Short Presentation Prize for Valeriia at the 27th International symposium: Synthesis in organic chemistry in Oxford, UK
Very well done Valeriia. At the 27th International symposium: Synthesis in organic chemistry in Oxford, UK, Valeriia was awarded the Poster/Short Presentation Prize.
Atroposelective Redox Organocatalysis
Many congratulations Daniel and Kalipada for developing atroposelective phosphine/phosphine oxide redox catalysis for the isoquinoline-forming Staudinger–aza-Wittig reaction.
Catalyst Control over Threefold Stereogenicity
By the selective synthesis of atropisomeric sulfones with stereogenic C–S axes, catalyst control over threefold stereogenicity was feasible. Many congratulations Tanno, Stephan and Andreas!
Valeriia Hutskalova recognized by the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation
Valeriia was recognized by the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation for her ongoing PhD work. Many congratulations!
Atroposelective Arene-Forming Alkene Metathesis
Very well done Zlatko: Alkene metathesis catalytically controls stereogenic axes by traceless arene formation.
o-Quinodimethane Atropisomers: Enantioselective Synthesis and Stereospecific Transformation
Jianyang and Andreas successfully established the enantioselective synthesis of atropisomeric oQDMs (o-quinodimethanes) and were able to demonstrate their viability for highly stereoselective transformations. Many congratulations!
