Prof Mike Ingleson and co-worker’s research highlighted in OPR&D

Organic Process Research & Development (OPR&D) is an American Chemical Society journal that publishes science by industrial process chemists and academic researchers describing efficient and novel ways of preparing organic compounds on larger scale that are commercially important or could become commercially important. 

Prof. Ingleson and Boron: Beyond the Reagent PDRA Clement Millet and PhD student Anna Schellbach’s recent Chemical Science paper (Borylation directed borylation of N-alkyl anilines using iodine activated pyrazaboles) was selected as one of the OPR&D “Highlights from the Literature”, a regular feature of OPR&D whereby a group of seasoned industrial researchers selects and summarizes recent remarkable accomplishments from the scientific literature that are expected to be relevant and important with future practical applications. The research was praised for it’s practicality and simplicity: 

“The use of transient activating groups is clearly the most attractive strategy from a practical point of view.  It is encouraging to see the simple and practical conditions that allow the direct borylation ortho to an aniline.”
