We have a new paper out today. We have been studying the use of pentafluoropyridine to generate acyl fluorides. We also developed a one-pot amidation too. Check it out in Org Lett J Org Chem/Org Lett. #Fluorine The Cobb Group pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Really pleased to share our work on #osteosarcoma #stemcell active #gallium agents ChemEurJ: Chemistry - A European Journal. Great teamwork from Josh NS + Ginevra Passeri + Drs Zhiyin Xiao + Kuldip Singh Leicester Chemistry LISCB💯 Looking forward to progressing this work with Bone Cancer Research Trust. bit.ly/3rlddpj

Elegant new method for the preparation of 4-fluoropiperidines

We've just had a fantastic day celebrating the research carried out by our PhD students. It was great to see talks and posters from all the sections of our School for what it was a real showcase of talent! #chemtwitter University of Leicester @charnwoodmol

I felt very proud of Gemma and Will, who both completed their PhDs in my research group, and Andrew, who was my personal tutee throughout his undergraduate degree.

This part of Mark Thomas' acceptance speech for an honorary doctorate at Kent is quite something!

Looking forward to my visit to Stockholm in June

This is a fantastic new teaching resource for Year 1 organic chemistry. Thank you Dave.

Looking forward to visiting Oxford again for the 21st RSC Fluorine Postgraduate Meeting

Members of the Pulis Pulis Group and Stuart Research Groups (Laura Winfrey, Alex Pulis, Alison Stuart, Alex Bowles and Sam Dearman) enjoyed running in Leicester’s Big 10k at Abbey Park yesterday. Abbey Park provided a beautiful venue and more importantly, a flat course!

Good performance in your viva today, Harry. Well done.

Thank you Berit for a fantastic conference. Great chemistry with old friends and new friends.

I'm so excited about watching our very own, UoL chemist, Josh Smalley Dr Josh Smalley in the final of the Great British Bake Off tonight! Good Luck Josh!

I am pleased to announce that I have a funded PhD position in synthetic organic chemistry with Alex Pulis Pulis Group starting in September 2024. Closing date for applications: 31st January 2024. More details available here: findaphd.com/phds/project/e…

Only 2 weeks left to apply for my PhD in synthetic organic chemistry at University of Leicester. Closing date for applications is 31st January 2024.

Thank you so much to Matt Hopkinson and his team for hosting the RSC Fluorine PG Meeting in Newcastle. Fantastic conference with lots of exciting new research in fluorine chemistry.

Many congratulations to Sophia Gloria for winning the prize for the best oral presentation at the 22nd RSC Fluorine Postgraduate meeting in Newcastle. We're all very proud of you Pulis Group Leicester Chemistry

I still have a PhD position available in my research group at the University of Leicester on designing new synthetic methodology for fluorination using hypervalent iodine reagents. Start date: 23 September 2024.

I'm really pleased to see that Sam's paper on hypervalent iodine(V) fluorides is out in BJOC. Sam, thank you so much for all of your hard work.

A Friday afternoon dessert indulgence to say goodbye to Jennifer. Thank you for all your hard work, Jennifer, and we hope that you enjoyed your summer project. A big thank you to the RSC Missing Elements grant scheme for funding Jennifer's summer placement.
