Simultaneous stereospecific and stereoselective installation of groups across an aromatic ring enabled a short synthesis of the cyclophanes, but there was a twist that needed boron again to come to the rescue. @BristolChem @J_A_C_S

Congratulations Andy on the new position! ANU are very fortunate to have you on their staff.
Andy Lawrence @biomimetic_chem Oct 11
Delighted to announce that in 2027 I will join @ANUChemistry!

I will be retaining a partial position @EdinburghChem, where I have enjoyed 13 years working with fantastic colleagues.

PhD positions will soon be available. Interested applicants should contact me via email #ozchem.

Congrats to our very own Prof. Varinder Aggarwal who has been awarded the 2026 Nagoya Gold Medal Prize. This prize was established in 1995 by Prof. Noyori and is awarded to an organic chemist who has made significant original contributions to the field in its broadest sense.

Congratulations to Mark on establishing a stereospecific coupling of heterocycles with boronic esters! @BristolChem @angew_chem

Think outside the box, but for stubborn thiazoles, think outside the ring!

Our latest @angew_chem, (in collab w/ @merckgroup) LiBAP cross-coupling, exploits an out-of-ring sulfinyl activation unlocking 1,2-migration that thiazoles resist.

Rare example of 6 endo favoured over 5 exo and even rarer example where ladderanes are formed too. Great work by Ze-Xin and the rest of the team @AggarwalLab @BristolChem @NatureChemistry @ChemistryWorld

โ€˜The rule-of-five is an observation in radical cyclisations of non-conjugated dienes, that a five-membered ring is generally favoured over other ring sizes,โ€™ says Varinder Aggarwal.

Now, chemists are finding ways to tune reactions & break this rule.
