New photocatalytic materials, Dr. Jinnai made it happen!

Uphill going from the racemate to enantiomerically pure compounds. Intriguing concept presented by Prof. Thorsten Bach.

More plasma from our Japanese guests: Dr. Takaya Fjuie shows what is possible with atomic hydrogen in Organic Synthesis.

Moving to the INorganic Side: Photo- and Electrocatalytic Functionalization of White Phosphorous by Prof. Robert Wolf.

New directions of Iodine(III) reagents from Dr. Kensuke Kiyokawa conclude today's scientific program! A good dinner is still on the agenda :)

Day 2 of the IDK-RER5 German-Japanese Symposium. Funding agencies, please note :), we also work on Saturdays.

IDK-RETR-5R Symposium. Hello from the Japanese and German participants.

Prof. Hideki Yorimitsu starts the day of with difunctionalizations of alkynes!

Prof. Joshua Barham, recently moved from Regensburg to Strathclyde, presents photo-electro synthesis.

Prof. Yoshihiro Nishimoto talks about photocatalytic C,F-bond activation.

Bimetallic hydrogen production and CO2 reduction by redox active metal complexes, presented by Prof. Corinna Hess

Flashy flash presentations by our Ph.D. students; well done

Dr. Julius Hillenbrand, Bayer AG, shows how machine learning techniques become important in industry.

Anti-Felkin allylation of a-methoxy carbonyl compounds? Prof. Makoto Yasuda shows that this is possible!

DMSO as a source for methyl radicals by using dibenzothiophene-S-oxide as a mediator. Very clever approach!

Organic dyes as alternatives to metal photocatalysts, presented by Prof. Kirsten Zeitler.

Prof. Takashi Koike report on new ways to access fluoroalkylradicals.

The final talk of our symposium is given by Dr. Takuji Kawamoto on the synthesis of fluorinated sulfonamides.

I attended to the excellent workshop, Radical and Electron Transfer Reactions 5th (RETR5) and 4th IDK PEC in the Univ. Regensburg, 6-7 September 2024. Thank you all German organizers for excellent hosting. @KoenigChemistry, Reiser-group

Tipping the scales: Rather than the usual [3+2]-cycloadditions with donor-acceptor-cyclopropanes, Andreas, Manuel, and Anna discovered a [4+1]-annulation of pyrrolidinones with thioureas, acting as an N,N-bisnucleophile. doi.org/10.1002/chem.2…. Thanks to RTG2620 for funding.
