The finding, published June 18 in <em>J. Am. Chem. Soc.</em>, provides a more straightforward and greener option for preparing versatile iodide reagents, and avoids the problem of metal residue in synthetic chemistry.</p> Sun, 12 Jul 2015 19:03:40 +0000 audrey.moores@mcgill.ca 758 at /chemistry /chemistry/channels/news/oxidizing-alcohol-without-tempo-243104 <p>The Arndtsen and Lumb research groups jointly report a copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of alcohols without the use of traditional N-oxide co-oxidants. The tyrosinase inspired Cu-diamine complex efficiently mediates the oxidation of both activated and un-activated alcohols at ambient pressure and temperature.</p> Thu, 26 Feb 2015 03:29:12 +0000 audrey.moores@mcgill.ca 721 at /chemistry /chemistry/channels/news/simple-solution-synthesis-lignans-243034 <p>Graduate student Anna Albertson and Assistant Professor Jean-Philip Lumb report a novel, bio-inspired approach to lignan natural products, which solves a longstanding challenge of mimicking their biosynthesis in the lab. The method provides an exceptionally efficient route to the furanolignans tanegool and pinoresinol. The work was recently published in <a href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anie.201408641/abstract">Angewandte Chemie</a>.</p> Sat, 21 Feb 2015 14:28:52 +0000 audrey.moores@mcgill.ca 718 at /chemistry
