4,4’-(Pyridin-4-ylmethylene)dibenzonitrile (2021)
Journal Article
Lancaster, B. M., Nicholls, A. J., & Baxendale, I. R. (2021). 4,4’-(Pyridin-4-ylmethylene)dibenzonitrile. Molbank, 2021(4), Article M1302. https://doi.org/10.3390/m1302

This communication describes an unprecedented substitution cascade, in which 4-methylpyridine, following deprotonation with LDA, twice acts as a carbon nucleophile in an unusual SNAr process, to form a novel triarylmethane structure. A proposed mecha... Read More about 4,4’-(Pyridin-4-ylmethylene)dibenzonitrile.

Protein domain-based prediction of drug/compound–target interactions and experimental validation on LIM kinases (2021)
Journal Article
Doğan, T., Akhan Güzelcan, E., Baumann, M., Koyas, A., Atas, H., Baxendale, I. R., …Cetin-Atalay, R. (2021). Protein domain-based prediction of drug/compound–target interactions and experimental validation on LIM kinases. PLoS Computational Biology, 17(11), Article e1009171. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1009171

Predictive approaches such as virtual screening have been used in drug discovery with the objective of reducing developmental time and costs. Current machine learning and network-based approaches have issues related to generalization, usability, or m...

Synthesis of 7-Chloroquinoline Derivatives Using Mixed Lithium-Magnesium Reagents (2021)
Journal Article
Murie, V. E., Nicolino, P. V., dos Santos, T., Gambacorta, G., Nishimura, R. H., Perovani, I. S., …Clososki, G. C. (2021). Synthesis of 7-Chloroquinoline Derivatives Using Mixed Lithium-Magnesium Reagents. Journal of Organic Chemistry, 86(19), 13402-13419. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.joc.1c01521

We have prepared a library of functionalized quinolines through the magnesiation of 7-chloroquinolines under mild conditions, employing both batch and continuous flow conditions. The preparation involved the generation of mixed lithium-magnesium inte... Read More about Synthesis of 7-Chloroquinoline Derivatives Using Mixed Lithium-Magnesium Reagents.

A comprehensive review of flow chemistry techniques tailored to the flavours and fragrances industries (2021)
Journal Article
Gambacorta, G., Sharley, J. S., & Baxendale, I. R. (2021). A comprehensive review of flow chemistry techniques tailored to the flavours and fragrances industries. Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 17, 1181-1312. https://doi.org/10.3762/bjoc.17.90

Due to their intrinsic physical properties, which includes being able to perform as volatile liquids at room and biological temperatures, fragrance ingredients/intermediates make ideal candidates for continuous-flow manufacturing. This review highlig... Read More about A comprehensive review of flow chemistry techniques tailored to the flavours and fragrances industries.
