“Unconventional methods” in organic synthesis: contributions of flash thermolysis, organic electrochemistry, and biocatalysis with oxidoreductase enzymes to natural product synthesis. 35th Norweigan Winter Organic Meeting, Skeikampen, Norway, January 2020.
The Hudlicky research team’s paper entitled, “Rapid Access to the Tricyclic Core of Calyciphylline A-Type Alkaloids via Allyl Cyanate-to-Isocyanate Rearrangement” has been rated as “Very Important” by the European Journal of Organic Chemistry, an honour afforded to less than 10% of the manuscripts that it receives.
Congratulations to Aliona Baradzenka from the Nikonov group who won a Chemical Science Poster Prize at the latest Inorganic Discussion Weekend conference (OIST, November 8-9, 2019)
