Together with his team, Aduc prize winner John Molloy explores reactivity of boron-containing compounds using light as an activation mode. Chemists can easily convert C–B bonds into many other functionalities, making them highly relevant in modern synthesis. Here, the boron group can be activated to branch off to stereospecifically explore chemical space for the discovery of next-generation functional molecules. Together with the current drive towards 3D topologies in medicinal chemistry, this creates demand for new strategies to generate C(sp 3 )–B bonds. Our research group aims to harness light to synthesize 3D organoboron frameworks. Light...
