The ORGA group semester seminar was held at IECB organized by the Pucheault team. On this occasion, Damien presented his work on carbene chemistry. 

On the 23h of March, Martin defended his PhD thesis entitled “”New Processes for the Synthesis of Urethanes and Polyurethanes” in front of a jury composed of Dr. L. Grimault (U. Paris Sciences & Lettres), Dr. C. Gosmini (Ecole Polytechnique), Prof. J. Lalevée (U. Haute Alsace), Prof. H. Cramail (U. Bordeaux) and Prof. D. Taton (U. Bordeaux). Congratulations Martin. We wish you good luck for the future.
After the PhD thesis, Dr. C. Gosmini and Dr. L. Grimault gave two stimulating lectures, respectively on cobalt catalysis and electrochemistry tools.

Our article on the total synthesis of (+)-Eucophylline has been featured on ChemistryViews, Wiley-VCH’s chemistry portal.
