Something for fans of hawaiian natural products here... 🤿 Check out the latest publication from the Burton group at Oxford Chemistry. Congratulations to all authors! SBM CDT J Org Chem/Org Lett pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

What a lovely afternoon of all things chemistry Oxford Chemistry! Very happy to have been awarded a prize and to be able to share our oxocarbenium ion research with everyone and learn so much from the other participants!

Interested in new methods for aryne generation? With Robert Paton & the Burton group, in ChemRxiv we describe a super-mild method to make and trap arynes - including pyrimidynes - by the base-mediated elimination of oxonium salts: bit.ly/3LexJUG

In nature today, we describe a configurationally stable triaryloxonium ion with an oxygen atom as its sole stereogenic centre: nature.com/articles/s4158…. Great work from Owen, Maddie and Mihai (with Burton and Robert Paton groups). Oxford Chemistry CSU Department of Chemistry SBM CDT

My new paper using MD to study how solvation in (porous) ionic liquids affects the catalytic addition of CO2 to epoxides has been published!! #chemtwitter #ionicliquids pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Check out our paper on the Synthesis of Cyclopropanes using Hydrogen Borrowing Catalysis in J Org Chem/Org Lett. Congrats to Jess (Jess Crompton) and James! Thank you to SBM CDT, Royalcom1851, Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and GSK! bit.ly/3PWdXjj

In Nature Synthesis today we describe a super-mild and functional group tolerant method to make arynes from triaryloxonium salts: go.nature.com/3RZPTNx Outstanding work from Owen, Maddie, Viorel and Sreenithya Robert Paton SBM CDT @oxfordchemistry CSU Department of Chemistry
