Greetings from this years Ritter Lab Christmas Party 🎄

'How do I thianthrenate X?' – In our new article in J. Am. Chem. Soc., Dilgam Ahmadli presents simple guidelines for selecting reaction conditions and with our collaborators from @syngenta developed a robust diversification platform for further functionalizations! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

New Angewandte Chemie article alert! 👀 We expand the chemical space accessible from BCP-TT reagents via a reductive cross-coupling reaction with alkyl bromides using copper/photoredox catalysis! Open access 🔓 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Kharasch addition but with a little twist 🪄 In our new J. Am. Chem. Soc. paper, the use of a phosphine-ligated Cu-complex enables the use of unstabilized, nucleophilic alkyl radicals and electron-deficient alkenes for a Kharasch-type haloalkylation reaction! 🔓 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

After a multi-year journey to bring thianthrenation-like chemistry to water, we now present a selenoxide reagent that can be used to perform single atom modifications selectively on tyrosine residues in proteins or peptides! Out now in Nature Chemistry! nature.com/articles/s4155…
