combining automation and synthesis to access new chemical space
News
In collaboration with Michael Ingleson, we have recently published a new paper in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. using boron trifluoride etherate and various nucleophiles to access bicyclic boronates. This work started during my PDRA with Mike, and Laura did an excellent job with it! I enjoyed probing the mechanism of this reaction and I look…
❗ PhD Opportunity Available ❗ In collaboration with Liam Donnelly we have a competition funded PhD studentship available focused on developing nitrogen insertion reactions using automation and machine learning. This 3.5-year studentship at Heriot-Watt University will combine both traditional synthetic chemistry with high-throughput experimentation and machine learning to discover new skeletal editing reactions. See the…
