Check out our latest work in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social - an Ir-catalysed approach for the reduction of esters to ethers.

Well done to the team!

Big day for the group as we share our first article in Nature - a facile approach to enantioenriched alkylidenecyclopropanes using BIMPS!

Huge congratulations to Jonny and Dong-Hang for their outstanding work, and to our computational collaborators!
