We are excited to share that our lab has published a new article in Organic Letters , reporting a ruthenium-catalyzed reductive amination protocol using inexpensive and environmentally friendly sodium hypophosphite as reductant. Congratulations to Olesya Zvereva, Fedor Kliuev, Natalia Lebedeva, Dr. Evgeniya Podyacheva, Dr. Oleg Afanasyev and Prof. Dr. Denis Chusov on this achievement! DOI: 10.1021/acs.orglett.5c04073

We are pleased to announce that our lab has published a new article in Journal of Catalysis , reporting a simple and efficient catalytic system for the reductive alkylation of ketones with aldehydes using waste reductants. Congratulations to all our co-authors from the lab - Alexandra Balalaeva, Dr. Evgeniya Podyacheva, Dr. Oleg Afanasyev and Prof. Dr. Denis Chusov. DOI: 10.1016/j.jcat.2025.116583

We are proud to announce that our lab has published a new article in Journal of Catalysis (DOI: http://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcat.2025.116495 ). In this work, our team presents a novel catalytic protocol for the reductive alkylation of ketones using aldehydes as reducing agents, offering an efficient and selective pathway for C–C and C-N bond formation. Congratulations to our colleagues Fedor  Kliuev, Dr. Oleg Afanasyev and Prof. Dr. Denis Chusov for their outstanding contributio

Our laboratory team is delighted to announce a new publication in ChemSusChem (DOI: 10.1002/cssc.202402622 ). In this study, we developed a novel sustainable catalytic system for selective conversion of biomass-derived feedstocks, demonstrating significant improvements in efficiency and green metrics. Congratulations to all our co-authors from the lab - Alexandra Balalaeva, Dr. Evgeniya Podyacheva, Dr. Oleg Afanasyev and Prof. Dr. Denis Chusov and a special thanks to Higher S
