The "Trendberichte Organische Chemie 2025" are online and summarize the highlights in organic chemistry of last year. It was a pleasure for me to coordinate this team effort and I am very grateful to my colleagues for their individual contributions. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Trendbericht: Organische Chemie 2025

Highlights von November 2023 bis 2024: die erste Einelektron-C–C-σ-Bindung und Anti-Bredt-Verbindung; gesättigte Heterocyclen elektrochemisch funktionalisieren; Ausrichten diskotischer Flüssigkristal...

The group's second paper of 2025 deals with a 40 year old question: how do unidirectional multiple hydrogen rearrangements proceed in mass spec? Great collaboration with Mathias Schäfter (@chemunicologne.bsky.social)& Dietmar Kuck (Bielefeld): chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

A Unique Intramolecular Redox Reaction by Unidirectional Migration of Three Hydrogen Atoms: Theoretical Elucidation of the 3H‐Transfer Sequence

The intramolecular migration of three hydrogen atoms from one moiety of a gaseous radical cation to the other prior to fragmentation is an extremely rare type of redox reaction. Within the scope of t...

A catalyst that can selectively reduce a morpholine-derived amide in presence of a piperidine-derived amide?

Check out our early start into the scientific year here:

Site-Selective Copper(I)-Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Amides

We present a bifunctional catalyst consisting of a copper(I)/N-heterocyclic carbene and an organocatalytic guanidine moiety that enables, for the first time, a copper(I)-catalyzed reduction of amides ...

It was a great pleasure to host Steven Lopez in our @gdch.bsky.social seminar. Traditionally, we had to stop by Karl for a selfie. #CHEMnitz

Last year, we hosted a total of 17 events within the @gdch.bsky.social section at TU Chemnitz. This brings #CHEMnitz to the top within all GDCh regional sections. I am also looking forward to the next months with a fantastic line-up of speakers.

Peter Schreiner's talk in the @gdch.bsky.social seminar at TU Chemnitz was the perfect end to a fantastic year of chemistry. #CHEMnitz
