Welcome to the Plietker Research Group
News
| Double strike: Pascal´s and Annika´s paper on cyanide-free synthesis of acylcyanides and carbene transfer chemistry went online at the same day! Check it out.....! | 10:23, Apr 26 2019 |
| Pascals, Michaels and Shih-Fans paper was accepted by ChemistryOpen! | 10:21, Apr 26 2019 |
|
Their publication describes a facile Ru-catalysed way of accessing acylcyanides by oxidation of the corresponding benzonitriles. This allows for a completely cyanide-free synthesis of acylcyanides. The in-situ generated acylcyanides were further elaborated by subsequent nucleophilic substitutions (O-, S- and N-nucleophiles) and a sequential C-H oxidation-Tishchenko-rearrangement. Well done, guys, congratulations! DOI |

| Annikas and Isas paper was accepted for publication in ChemCatChem! | 13:14, Apr 10 2019 |
|
Annikas and Isas work on TBAFe-catalysed carbene insertions into N-H, S-H and Si-H bonds was accepted by ChemCatChem. Whereas silanes as substrates give good yields, amines and thiols were converted to the corresponding products with excellent results. Moreover, indications for a substrate-dependant mechanisms were found. Very good work, Annika and Isa! Congratulations! DOI |

| Lei's paper has been accepted for publication in Angewandte Chemie! | 13:39, Apr 02 2019 |
|
Lei's enantioselective total synthesis of the guaiane sesquiterpenes (-)-Englerin A and B was accepted by Angewandte Chemie. The synthesis features state-of-the-art catalytic and organocatalytic methods leading to a very short 12-step route to Englerin A and B. Well done, Lei! Congratulations! DOI |

| Jan Nowak started his Master Thesis. | 13:34, Apr 02 2019 |
|
Jan started to work on iron catalysis for his master thesis. Welcome and a lot of fun in the lab! |
|
| Frank's, Asli's and Claudi's paper was accepted for publication! | 16:02, Mar 01 2019 |
|
Together with our collaboration partners, the Götz group from Tübingen, further investigations into the mechanism of our PPAP antibiotics against MRSA bacteria was carried out. These studies revealed that PPAPs don't induce resistance in the bacteria. Further, they inhibit bacterial respiration by targeting of iron-sulphur enzymes and cause oxidative stress. Well done, everyone! DOI |
