Congratulations to our former group member Dom @domrwillcox.bsky.social and fellow Boron @epsrcboron.bsky.social student Anna Schellbach for their publication in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social
If you have ever used simple Lewis acids like AlCl3 and GaCl3 in your chemistry, you may be interested to learn how they react with non-nucleophilic bases. Anna did an amazing job with this and has discovered some really exciting new chemistry! Read the Accepted article in Angew. Chem. #chemsky
Intermolecular sp3C‐H Metalation of Non‐Nucleophilic Brønsted Bases Using Simple Lewis Acids
2,6-Di-tert-butyl substituted pyridines (tBu2-py) are widely used non-nucleophilic Brønsted bases. Their ubiquity is due to their highly hindered basic site and chemically robust nature. Herein we re...
