Tsang, N., Kibler, A. J., Argent, S. P., Lam, H. W., Jones, K. D., & Newton, G. N. (2024). Organofunctionalized borotungstate polyoxometalates as tunable photocatalysts for oxidative dimerization of amines. Chemical Science, 15(36), 14685-14691. https://doi.org/10.1039/d4sc03534h

Organofunctionalized borotungstate Keggin polyoxometalates, (nBu4N)3H[HBW11O39(P(O)Ph)2] (PBW11), (nBu4N)3H[HBW11O39(As(O)Ph)2] (AsBW11), and (nBu4N)4[HBW11O39(PhSiOSiPh)] (SiBW11), were synthesized and structurally characterized. Cyclic voltammetry... Read More about Organofunctionalized borotungstate polyoxometalates as tunable photocatalysts for oxidative dimerization of amines.

Nickel‐Catalysed syn‐Selective Arylnickelation and Cyclisation of Ketone/Imine‐Tethered Terminal Alkynes with Arylboronic Acids (2024)
Journal Article
Morgan, D. M., Lam, H. W., & Guiry, P. J. (2024). Nickel‐Catalysed syn‐Selective Arylnickelation and Cyclisation of Ketone/Imine‐Tethered Terminal Alkynes with Arylboronic Acids. European Journal of Organic Chemistry, 27(23), Article e202400445. https://doi.org/10.1002/ejoc.202400445

Herein we report a syn-arylnickelative cyclisation with ketone- and imine-tethered terminal alkynes (16 examples) in yields of up to 89 %. The reaction proceeds via a syn-aryl nickelation of a terminal alkyne followed by cyclisation of the resulting...

Enantioselective de novo synthesis of 14-hydroxy-6-oxomorphinans (2024)
Journal Article
Moore, J. C., Modell, L., Glenn, J. R., Jones, K. D., Argent, S. P., Lane, J. R., …Lam, H. W. (2024). Enantioselective de novo synthesis of 14-hydroxy-6-oxomorphinans. Chemical Communications, 60(47), 6007-6010. https://doi.org/10.1039/d4cc01788a

The enantioselective de novo synthesis of pharmacologically important 14-hydroxy-6-oxomorphinans is described. 4,5-Desoxynaltrexone and 4,5-desoxynaloxone were prepared using this route and their biological activities against the opioid receptors wer...
