Finally... Our paper "Radical Triggered Three‐Component Coupling Reaction of Alkenylboronates, α‐Halocarbonyl Compounds and Organolithium Reagents: The Inverse Ylid Mechanism" is online. dx.doi.org/10.1002/chem.2…. #boron #radicalchemistry #renaudphi

There radical fluorination paper is out. We hope NFASs will become useful reagents. Thanks to Daniel and Fabian for the experimental work and to Harish and Hendrik for the calculations. Blog: chemistrycommunity.nature.com/users/189126-p… Paper: nature.com/articles/s4146…

We are organizing the Swiss Summer School in Organic Synthesis in (August 27-31, 2023). We still opportunity accept participants. We have an amazing line up of speakers covering a broad range of topics. summer-school23.scg.ch #Chemistry #TotalSynthesis #syntheticmethod

The first Bern Symposium on Radical Chemistry will be held on June 27-28, 2024 at the University of Bern. We will have an exciting scientific program! bsrc24.scg.ch

An updated group homepage will be online very soon.

The Ph.D. defense of Guillaume (Lomic) will take place on December 14. The external referee is Chrys Chatgilialoglu.

Congratulation to Guillaume who defended brilliantly his thesis on Friday December 14.

The thesis defense of François Brucelle will take place on Friday May 10. Nicolas Winssinger (Geneva) is the external evaluator.

The thesis defense of Pierre Matéo will take place on Thursday May 30. Alexandre Alexakis (Geneva) is the external evaluator.

Congratulation to François Brucelle who passed his PhD thesis on May 10. Great defense!

François Brucelle obtained a postdoc fellowship from the SNSF: he will join MIT (Mo Mavassaghi) this Summer.

Pierre Mateo defended his PhD thesis last Thursday. Superb defense. Congratulations.
