Synthesis of Atropisomeric Two-Axis Systems by the Catalyst-Controlled syn- and anti-Selective Arene-Forming Aldol Condensation
Very well done Daniel and many congratulations. This stereodivergent approach allows the programmed one-step synthesis of all four feasible atropisomeric two-axis systems with catalyst control from the same substrate without preactivation.
Stereoselective Synthesis of Atropisomeric Acridinium Salts by the Catalyst-Controlled Cyclization of ortho-Quinone Methide Iminiums
Many congratulations to Xingxing for establishing a stereoselective route to atropisomeric acridinium salts by a Friedel-Crafts electrocyclization of ortho-quinone methide iminiums by means of ion-pairing catalysis.

Felix successfully defends his PhD thesis. All the best for your future career!
Anton begins as PhD student in the group. We wish you a great start!
Jianyang joins the team as Postdoc. Welcome to the group!
Stephan starts his Master thesis in the group
Catalyst-Controlled Stereoselective Barton–Kellogg Olefination
Many Congratulations. Tanno achieved an important milestone for our research: the catalyst-controlled thiiranation combined with stereospecific reductions to overcrowded alkenes, also in a fully stereodivergent manner.
ERC Consolidator Grant
We recently started our project "Catalyst Control over X-Fold Stereogenicity" supported by an ERC Consolidator Grant. Join our team: PhD and Postdoc positions are available.
