Almost would have given up when the computationally predicted selectivies just wouldn't want to explain the experimental observation... Glad to have eventually solved it... Check out the OA publication if you are interested in how we overcame the issues. doi.org/10.1002/anie...

You think about using an electronic Lab Journal (ELN), but don't know how to start?

Here is an overview over centrally hosted #ELN installations at german universities.

A simple, scalable method by Jurk & van Gemmeren @vangemmerenlab.bsky.social to convert secondary sulfonamides into sulfonyl fluorides using affordable #DAST ⚗️, yielding excellent results! These sulfonyl fluorides readily couple with amines to create diverse libraries.
