Our article entitled “Visible light Mediated Iron-Catalyzed Addition of Oxamic Acids to Imines” has been accepted for publication in RSC Advances 

Our paper entitled “Synthesis of Polyurethanes Through the Oxidative Decarboxylation of Oxamic Acids: a New Gateway Toward Self-blown Foams” was posted as a prepint in ChemRixv.

This work funded by ANR concludes a long-term collaboration with the team of Prof. H. Cramail from LCPO (UB) on the preparation of polyurethane foams. 

Thank you to Quentin, Martin and Govind for their efforts !

Our article entitled “Copper-mediated Decarboxylative Amidination: Synthesis of O-methyl-N-alkylnitroisoureas” has been accepted for publication in Advanced Synthesis & catalysis.

Congratulations to Jonathan and Dickson for their nice work !

Dr. Rania Akacha, a former PhD student at the University of Lyon-1 (Laboratoire d’Ingénierie des Matériaux Polymères (UMR 5223)) is joining us as a post-doctoral fellow on a collaborative project with the team of Prof H. Cramail at the LCPO.

After 11 years in our team Jonathan has left the University of Bordeaux to join the University of Lyon.
We were delighted and lucky to have you with us.
Thank you for everything and good luck in your new life in the South-East….

Charlotte, Thibault and Clement join us for their master 1 and 2 training.

Welcome to all !!!

Our work recently published in ACS Catalysis on “O-Methyl-N-nitroisourea as a NCO Surrogate in Cu-Catalyzed Alkane C–H Amidination. A Masked Isocyanate Strategy“ was highlighted by the CNRS. 

In the frame of an Arkivoc special issue in the honour of Prof. Samir Zard, we recently contributed with a manuscript entitled “Copper-catalyzed silylation of activated alkenes by photoinduced ligand-to-metal charge transfer”. 

Congratulations to Sam for his remarkable achievements in both radical and organic chemistry

Well done Shuai for this work !

Congratulations to Jonathan for this nice and hard work !

M. Younes Massad joins us as a PhD student funded by the French General Consulate of France in Jerusalem (“Bourse France Excellence”).  

Welcome Younes !!!
