Recent Group Results:

Our work on the synthesis and host-guest chemistry of diphosphite supported metallomacrocycles was published in Inorg. Chem. 2018, 57, 11662.

Molecular structure of the 32-membered metallomcrocycle as determined by X-ray. In the solid state, the collapsed form is held together by non-covalent (aurophilic) interactions

Our work on stereospecific phosphonate transfer from Au to Pd as well as development of a base-free synthesis of arylated nucleosides was published; Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2018, 2167.

This chemistry was featured on the journal cover




A version of our single component hydrophenoxylation catalysts is now available from Strem.

Practical Functional Group Synthesis addresses the chemists working in these fields by offering a practical guide to modern functional group synthesis through carbon–heteroelement bond forming reactions. Each chapter focuses on a single type of heteroelement, with sub-sections discussing specific functional groups.

• A focus on operational simplicity, sustainability and microwave-assisted reactions

• Key and recent developments – which are otherwise scattered across journal literature – into a single source

• Over 100 detailed procedures for the preparation of carbon–heteroelement bonds

• A total of 25 troubleshooting guides with suggestions and approaches to address common challenges

• 7 chapters, 691 pages, Wiley, 2016
