Spanish KAT magic!
Congratulations to Alberto, whose paper was recently accepted for publication in JACS! This paper describes a new amide formation of potassium acyltrifluoroborates (KATs) with primary amines and amides, and represents the first paper to be published by a Bode group 2015 start. Great work, Alberto!
Raffi got SSCI!
Congratulations to Raphael Hofmann, who was awarded the Scholarship of the Swiss Chemical Industry (SSCI) for his proposal on the site-specific modification of native proteins. Raphael is the first Bode group member to be awarded the fellowship, which he can add to his trophy cabinet beside his recent ETH Medal. Great job!
New year, new SLAP!
Happy New Year from the Bode group, and congratulations to recent alumnus Sheng-Ying Hsieh on his new ACS Central Science publication! This work details the Lewis acid-mediated expansion of our photoredox SLAP chemistry to thiomorpholine and thiazepane substrates, and details the distinct mechanistic pathway involved. Great work Fly!
