Nico and Nils
Contributed to a breakthrough paper published in Angew. Chemie
Nils and Nico carried out their MSci projects in the group of Prof. Alan Spivey working on the catalytic kinetic resolution of indolines by N-sulfonylation, and proposed a model to explain the observed stereodiscrimination. Both contributed to a breakthrough paper published in Angew. Chemie:
James I. Murray, Nils J. Flodén, Adriano Bauer, Nico D. Fessner, Daniel L. Dunklemann, Opetoritse Bob-Egbe, Henry S. Rzepa, Thomas Bürgi, Jeffery Richardson and Alan C. Spivey, ‘Kinetic Resolution of 2-Substituted Indolines by N-Sulfonylation using an Atropisomeric 4-DMAP-N-oxide Organocatalyst’, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2017, 56, 5760-5764. DOI: 10.1002/anie.201700977
Nils is now studying for a PhD at the University of Cambridge and Nico is studying for a PhD at the University of Barcelona.
