We open the lab doors to everyone curious about science… Nov 22nd from 6 pm till midnight. This year you can engage all the senses: see, smell, hear, touch and even taste the chemistry! More details at www.lndw-jena.de.

One would think that alcohols easily undergo allylation using MBH electrophiles. They don’t! Unless you give them a push with latent pronucleophiles. Read about it in Synlett (via the link on our publications page). Congrats on another publication for Markus and Abdulrahman who equally contributed to this study.

Welcome to the group Oliver! Good luck with your latent pronucleophiles. We hope they behave well in your hands.

Lenard has successfully finished his BSc studies in our group and defended his thesis. We wish him all the best for the MSc studies!
