Research Updates
Congratulations to Drs. Rudi Fasan and Karl Scheidt, and their associated labs, for their latest preprint focused on enantioselective C(sp3)–H acylation of an organic substrate. The details can be found here.
In their recent publication in ACS Catalysis, the Fasan group demonstrates a biocatalytic method for synthesizing enantioenriched oxazolidinones. You can find the publication here.
Dr. Alison Narayan's lab has just released their most recent work on synthesizing enantioenriched atropisomers. Casey Roos, a C-CES trainee, is first author. Read about this exciting research here.
