Challenges for the Implantation of Symbiotic Nanostructured Medical Devices
Applied Sciences, 2020 We discuss the perspectives of designing implantable medical devices that have the criterion of being symbiotic. Our starting point was whether the implanted device is intended to have any two-way (“duplex”) communication of energy or materials with the ...

Direct Access to Chiral Piperidines by Enantioselective HAT‐Initiated C(sp3)─H Oxidation
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.The direct desymmetrization of piperidines is achieved through manganese‐catalyzed enantioselective α‐C(sp3)─H oxidation with hydrogen peroxide, affording versatile chiral N,O‐acetals in good yields and with high enantio‐ and diastereoselectivity. These intermediates provide access to diverse functionalized piperidines with retention of chirality ...
