Chemical and Engineering News highlighted Waldvogel lab and their work on symmetric and non-symmetric cross-coupling reactions in the Green Chemistry topic: "Electrosynthesis gives chemists more power".
"Waldvogel’s group, for example, in collaboration with researchers at Evonik Industries, last year created a metal-free, oxidant-free one-step electrochemical protocol for cross-coupling phenols to make symmetrical and nonsymmetrical biaryl diols (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2016, DOI: 10.1002/anie.20160432 and DOI: 10.1002/anie.201605865). The researchers just expanded the approach to aniline-aniline cross-couplings to form 2,2´-diaminobiaryls (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2017, DOI: 10.1002/anie.201612613)." by S. K. Ritter
