Shuai PhD Defense
On the 19th of July, Shuai Liu defended his PhD thesis entitled “Radical-mediated C-H and Si-H Functionalization to construct C-C/C-N/C-Si Bonds” in front of a jury composed of Prof. I. Gillaizeau (U. Orléans), Dr. E. Magnier (U. Versailles Saint-Quentin en Yvelines), Dr. M. Donnard (U. Strasbourg), and Prof. B. Bibal (U. Bordeaux).
After the PhD thesis, Prof. Gillaizeau, Dr. E. Magnier and, Dr. Donnard gave stimulating lectures, respectively on enamides/ynamides, fluorine and organosilicon chemistry.
Congratulations Shuai !! We wish you good luck for the future.
Article accepted in Synlett
Our paper entitled “Iron-Catalyzed Oxidative Decarboxylation of Oxamic Acids: A Safe and Efficient Photochemical Route to Urethanes” has been accepted for publication in Synlett.
Congratulations to Gülbin and Jonathan for this nice work.
