Catalyst control over sixfold stereogenicity

Wonderful achievement by Xingxing, Reto, Rodolphe, Christian and Daniel. Stereoselective catalysis allows to navigate stereochemical space beyond binary (Le Bel–Van ’t Hoff rule), now published in Nature Catalysis. Very proud of the team.

Organophotocatalytic Aerobic Oxygenation of Phenols in a Visible‐Light Continuous‐Flow Photoreactor

Congratulation to Joël, Dragan, Thomas and the DSM team. Let us improve sustainability for important phenol oxidations, now published in Chemistry – A European Journal.
