Hydrogen atom transfer enabled acylsugar synthesis via cooperative copper and NHC catalysis
In this study, we report a direct acylation method for saccharides, achieved through the combination of copper and N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis. This modular Cu/NHC dual-catalysis system exh...

Back in my university days, I spent hours studying on @organicportal.bsky.social. Today, our own paper is highlighted and feels surreal!🤩

I'm incredibly proud of this work and grateful to my collaborators who made it possible. ❤️
