2-3 Postdoctoral positions are available immediately in the Prof. Liu’s lab. Interested candidates with strong experimental experience on organic chemisty, especially on radical chemistry and transition metal catalysis, please submit a cover letter, Curriculum Vitae (including 2x references) and a short research summary to Prof. Liu, gliu@mail.sioc.ac.cn. Please put "Applications - Liu Group - PostDoc" in the subject line.
As a general method for the synthesis of alcohols, the direct oxygenation of alkenes is difficult to afford linear alcohols. Herein, we communicate the remote hydro-oxygenation of alkenes under palladium catalysis, in which both terminal and internal alkenes are suitable to yield the corresponding linear alcohols efficiently. A compatible SelectFluor/silane redox system plays an essential role for the excellent chemo- and regioselectivities. This result is published in JACS. Congratulations Xiang Li. Read More
Asymmetric sp3 C–H functionalization has been demonstrated to substantially expedite target molecule synthesis, spanning from feedstocks upgradation to late-stage modification of complex molecules. Herein, we report a highly efficient and sustainable method for enantioselective benzylic C–H cyanation by merging electrophoto- and copper catalysis. A novel catalytic system allows one to independently regulate the hydrogen atom transfer step for benzylic radical formation and speciation of Cu(II)/Cu(I) to effectively capture the transient radical intermediate, through tuning the electronic property of anthraquinone-type photocatalyst and simply modulating the applied current, respectively. This result is published in JACS. Congratulations Wenzheng Fan & Xueyao Zhao. Read More
