Versatile C(sp2)−C(sp3) Ligand Couplings of Sulfoxides for the Enantioselective Synthesis of Diarylalkanes (2016)
Journal Article

The reaction of chiral (hetero)aryl benzyl sulfoxides with Grignard reagents affords enantiomerically pure diarylalkanes in up to 98% yield and greater than 99.5% enantiomeric excess. This ligand coupling reaction is tolerant to multiple substitution... Read More about Versatile C(sp2)−C(sp3) Ligand Couplings of Sulfoxides for the Enantioselective Synthesis of Diarylalkanes.

Sigmatropic Rearrangement of Vinyl Aziridines: Expedient Synthesis of Cyclic Sulfoximines from Chiral Sulfinimines (2016)
Journal Article

A novel rearrangement of 2-vinyl aziridine 2-carboxylates to unusual chiral cyclic sulfoximines is described herein. The method allows the synthesis of substituted cyclic sulfoximines in high yields with complete stereocontrol, displaying a wide sub...

A facile and green route to terpene derived acrylate and methacrylate monomers and simple free radical polymerisation to yield new renewable polymers and coatings (2016)
Journal Article

We present new acrylic monomers derived directly from abundant naturally available terpenes via a facile, green and catalytic approach. These monomers can be polymerised to create new polymers with a wide range of mechanical properties that positions...
