The 8th edition of the Francophone Symposium of Total Synthesis (SFST8)
Vincent Pirenne and Ahmed Chaambi from of our team presented some of their recent work at the 8th edition of the Francophone Symposium of Total Synthesis (SFST8), organized by the “ORGA” group. The symposium took place in the heart of Bordeaux, at the “Pole Juridique et Judiciaire de l’Université de Bordeaux” (Pey-Berland square) on thursday 18 and friday 19th of may 2018.
Springer Release of the book on “Free-Radical Synthesis and Functionalization of Heterocycles”
The book on “Free-Radical Synthesis and Functionalization of Heterocycles” edited by Y. Landais has been released (ISBN 978-3-319-89521-5). The best specialists in the domain provide readers with an overview of free-radical chemistry as an environmentally benign synthetic strategy to access and functionalize heterocycles.
New paper
Our paper on the Boronic-acid Mediated Carbo-cyanation of Olefins is accepted to EJOC – congratulations to Reina, Chahinaz, Nitin and Pierre !
