We are a young research group of passionate chemists dedicated to the development of organic reactions @Manuelnappi4 @CIQUSUSC @universidadeUSC
Very happy to share that our last work: "Photocatalytic deoxygenative Z-selective olefination of aliphatic alcohols" has found home in @NatureComms!!! Many congrats to @sainarayanan89, @irenessordo, @CarlaAiraRodrgz and @ManuAzzi for the amazing work! rdcu.be/ef9VO

Many congrats Matt, very nice work!
We are excited to share our new work on one carbon alkene homologation. We can iteratively homologate terminal and internal alkenes in simple and complex molecules using this method. Great work by Marcus that opens up lots of exciting opportunities for us. nature.com/articles/s4158…
Amazing experience at the Bürgenstock Conference 2025 as JSP fellow! Thank you so much @SwissChemistry, the organising committee and the president @qojoselm for this great opportunity!
JSP program at the Bürgenstock conference 2025 promotes Scientific Leaders of the next Generation from both academia and industry! Class 2025 JSP together with the Bürgenstock president José Luis Mascareñas. #SCS_BC25 #JSPFellow2025 #scs
Happy to share our latest work, a practical and iterative protocol for carboxylic acid homologation, today online in @J_A_C_S. Well done to @WheatleyEmilie and George for their exceptional work on this. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…
Thrilled to see our first contribution out in @J_A_C_S! @uaitaciano, Roberto, Órla & Ben developed a practical, broad-scope and selective strategy for alkene 1,2-syn-difunctionalization, combining 1,3-DCs with electrochemical radical activation🪡✂️ 📜🔗:pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
Amazing paper from the group of my Cambridge colleague Robert Phipps. Great work. science.org/stoken/author-…
It has been a great pleasure to have the opportunity to present some of the chemistry of @NappiGroup in the symposyum in honor of Professor Barluenga in @UOquimicaOI. Thank you to all the organizers for this amazing time sharing chemistry!
Excited to present the first paper from the Park group, published today in @ScienceMagazine! We found a user-friendly, mild reaction conditions for exchanging an oxygen in heterocycles with nitrogen groups. Congrats Donghyeon, Jaehyun, and the team! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Come and join our team. We have an exciting Synthetic Chemistry PhD opportunity in the @Gaunt_Group (starting Oct 2025) in collaboration with AstraZeneca. It will focus development of new catalytic activation modes for the synthesis of novel scaffolds. jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/48481/

Welcome @Ire2789, our new postdoc! Best of luck for your new adventure at @ciqususc!

📢Please RT: We have a new PhD position due to to a last minute resignation. We are looking for a PhD candidate (with MSc in Chemistry or Materials Science) with background in organic/polymer chemistry and/or electrochemistry. Deadline: 31 January shorturl.at/cjAK9
We have two exciting openings for PDRAs in the Gaunt group focussed on the development of new synthetic reactivity for the modification of RNA and/or proteins. For more details, see jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/44334/ Great opportunity for new synthesis focussed on a different challenge
