Our latest work, in collaboration with @bobbypaton, is out now @angew_chem. We developed a regio- and enantioselective Pt-catalyzed diboration of unactivated alkenes with (pin)B−B(dan), where B(dan) goes to the less hindered carbon. Congrats to team! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Radicals, tamed! Our new @J_A_C_S paper reveals an in situ doublet-state photocatalyst rivaling top photoreductants—enabling borylations & more. Huge congrats to the team! 🎉 #photocatalysis @BristolChem pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Congratulations to Hannah on successfully defending her thesis! She is now Dr. Han. Wishing her all the best!

After his postdoctoral stay @GloriusGroup, we warmly welcome Dr. Jasper Tyler back to the group—this time as our Research Officer. Looking forward to working with you, Jasper!

This week, we bid farewell to Gianluca, who worked with Hanwen, as he returns to @DellAmico_group at Università di Padova to complete his PhD. Wishing you all the success!

Bittersweet April as we said goodbye to group members: Javier returned to UAM to finish his PhD, Dr. Min Siauciulis has a new position in industry, and Dr. Zeshu Wang moved to @Schoenebeck_Lab. Wishing them all every success ahead!

Huge congrats to Dr. Adam Noble as he kicks off his independent career at Uni Bristol! Your incredible work at the Aggarwal Group has been invaluable. We’re so excited to see where this next chapter takes you!

Now online & open access: Article by Malcolm R. P. George, Craig P. Butts, Varinder K. Aggarwal & co-workers @AggarwalLab The combination of synthesis and ultra-high-resolution NMR spectroscopy reveals the correct structure of caylobolide A nature.com/articles/s4416…

Our latest work with the Butt's group, out now on @ChemEurope, enables the facile and quantitative stereochemical assignment of 1,5-diols in natural products. Congrats, Max and Malcolm! …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ce… @BristolChem #naturalproducts #stereochem #NMR

Come and hear the latest from our star-studded speakers at this years BSM. Deadline for registration is 28th March. Please re-tweet.

Congratulations to Dylan on successfully defending his thesis! He is now Dr. Rigby. Wishing him all the best!

Interesting to discover that organozinc reagents react with inversion of configuration with pi-allyl iridum complexes, unlike other electrophiles where they react with retention. Congratulations to Hong Cheng for his meticulous studies. @J_A_C_S @BristolChem @AggarwalLab

Congratulations to Chris, who defended his thesis and is now Dr. Cope, and to Dr. Huaquan Fang for Finishing up your research stay at our group. All the best to both of you!

Our latest work, out now @J_A_C_S, merged organocatalysis (MBH) w/ 1,2-boronate rearrangement to access enantioenriched, highly substituted indole and indolines. Great work team!🥳 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… @BristolChem #organocatalysis #boronates #research

Out now in @angew_chem, our latest work exploits strain release of ABB and photoredox catalysis for the synthesis of ABH – a Csp3 rich bioisostere of meta-substituted pyridine. Congratulations to the team! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10… #photoredox #research #strainrelease #bioisostere

Congratulations @HettyWalker2 on winning the poster competition @UoBPPN . Very proud of your work @AggarwalLab @HersIngeborg @tocris @BristolChem

This week we were delighted to have Professor @GloriusFrank to receive the 2024 Bristol-Syngenta Award. Frank gave his plenary lecture titled 'On Discovery and Sensitivity in (Photo)Catalysis', followed by a second lecture on career and science. Thank you Frank for your visit!

Not once but twice! Our latest work, out now @J_A_C_S, provides an access to two chiral centers via Simultaneous Stereoinvertive and Stereoselective (SimSS) Cross-Coupling. Great work Hong-Cheng, @zswang93, and team . Check out the link below pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…
