Mechanochemistry Enables Rapid and Solvent-Free Wittig Reactions on Sugars The development of efficient olefination methods for carbohydrates is of strategic relevance, as sugars are chiral and naturally abundant. They serve as valuable scaffolds in drug discovery and asymme...

Excited to share the project I worked on in Vienna — online on ChemRxiv! It’s been a great experience where I learned a lot about the complexity of sugar chemistry. Huge thanks to the team for making it possible!

Very impressive! Congratulations

I've spent three years in this corner of the lab. For the first time, I'm leaving it to go abroad.

It's hard to put into words the feelings I'm experiencing.

Auf Wiedersehen
