A paper on photocatalysis published in Eur. J. Org. Chem. by Dr. Marcos G. Suero’s group is among the most read articles in February 2017.
A new protocol for the catalytic cyclopropanation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with diiodomethane by means of photoredox catalysis has been successfully developed. The transformation is characterized by its mild conditions, functional group compatibility, and excellent selectivity profile.
