New paper in The Journal of Organic Chemistry

We have just published a new paper in The Journal of Organic Chemistry, which was done in collaboration with the Coelho’s group and prof. Michael Bühl from the Univervisty of St Andrews. This paper shows a robust/simple synthesis of tetrahydroindolizines and rationalizes the observed diastereoselectivity of a heterogeneous hydrogenation reaction by applying state-of-art experimental and…

New paper in the Chem. Eur. J.

Bruno has just published a Chemistry A European Journal paper about the Fluorine induced pseudo-anomeric effect. This paper was done in collaboation with the David O’Hagans group and is a nice joint between experimental and theoretical chemistry to understand a new physical organic chemistry effect. Check it out in the following link https://chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/chem.202003058?af=R

Luís Felipe FAPESP scholarship awarded

Congratulations to Luís Felipe for the approaval of his undergrad FAPESP scholarship. Luís Felipe is working on NMR spin spin coupling constants calculations and is carrying out an extensive programme on this subject for organofluorine compounds. We wish all the best and are looking forward for the results of Luís research. #stayhome #staysafe

Welcome João Paulo and Wilton!

Welcome to João Paulo and Wilton, who are joining Cormanich’s Lab on 2020 for their master degrees! João Paulo comes from the state of Espirito Santo and Wilton from the state of Minas Gerais. João Paulo is going to work on molecular dynamics and Wilton on conformational analysis. We wish all the best in the…

New paper in the European Journal of Organic Chemistry

Luís has published his paper about stereoelectronic effects in multivicinal fluoroalkanes in the European Journal of Organic Chemistry and it is available online:https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ejoc.201901780 This is the first theoretical rationalization of the effects that rule this new important fluorinated building block in Organic Chemistry. Congratulations Luís, keep going the good work. We are looking forward for…
