The Huisgen 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of organic azides and alkynes1, 2 has
gained considerable attention in recent years due to the introduction in 2001 of Cu (1) …

The increasing need for materials with tightly controlled structures will continue to fuel the
induction of synthetic organic concepts into materials science. One powerful example is the …

Over the past few decades, the increasing uses and requirements of synthetic polymers in
different fields of our life have stimulated research to produce more novel polymers …

The CuAAC “click” reaction has developed as one of the most useful and widely employed
reactions in ligation within polymer chemistry. This is due to the unique properties of the Cu …

The environmentally amiable route to carbon-heteroatom bond formation, described by
Sharpless as 'click chemistry', has become known as a fast, efficient, and reliable approach …

We report the photocatalytic oxidation of benzylic carbon atoms under mild conditions using
riboflavin tetraacetate as photocatalyst and blue-emitting LEDs (440 nm) as light source …

A novel optically active polymer consisting of riboflavin units as the main chain (poly-1) was
prepared from naturally occurring riboflavin (vitamin B2) in three steps. The riboflavin …

Benzyl alcohols are oxidized cleanly and efficiently to the corresponding aldehydes under
irradiation using flavin photocatalysts and aerial oxygen as the terminal oxidant in …

Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are important regulators of signal transduction
pathways. Potent and selective PTP inhibitors are useful for probing these pathways and …

The flavoenzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO) regulates mammalian behavioral patterns by
modulating neurotransmitters such as adrenaline and serotonin. The mechanistic basis …
