Photocatalytic Deconstruction of Polystyrene
What if we could shine a blue LED on our 8 billion tons of plastic waste and get back a valuable chemical feedstock? Click to read about the Reisner group’s work looking at tackling this problem.
Photocatalytic α‐Tertiary Amine Synthesis via C−H Alkylation of Unmasked Primary Amines
Abtract A practical, catalytic entry to α,α,α"trisubstituted (α"tertiary) primary amines by C-H functionalisation has long been recognised as a critical gap in the synthetic toolbox. We report a simple and scalable solution to this problem that...
