An epic tale of KAHA
Congratulations to our KAHA team past and present on our new Account of Chemical Research! This witty and frequently self-deprecating account details the full chronology of the development of the KAHA ligation and our protein synthesis projects to date. A fascinating and entertaining case study in the bumpy ride of academic research, it's a genuinely enjoyable read for both experts and outsiders alike, and a true celebration of how far the project has come. Congratulations, everyone!
SLAP goes flow!
Congratulations to Moritz Jackl on his new Organic Letters publication in collaboration with the Morandi group! Applying Morandi's recent advances in aminoetherification chemistry toward the streamlined synthesis of SLAP precursors, and using flow chemistry and a new catalytic system to provide access to morpholine and oxeazepane scaffolds that were previously beyond reach, this paper pushes our photoredox-powered SLAP heterocycle synthesis methodology to new heights. Excellent work, sir!
Summer 2017 Barbecue!
We had our annual Japanese barbecue at the beautiful Zürisee lakeside last night! Great food, great location, great people, great times. Check out our facebook page for some photos!
