After a long journey, finally, my good friend Sai and coworkers published this amazing work in #NatCommun. π
They can use native functional groups such as alcohols and transform them to the most challenging Z-olefins.
Without the use of a transition metal catalyst, and even working for #DNA 𧬠functionalization!

Alcohols are one of the most abundant functional groups in commercially available materials and biologically active compounds. Here, the authors report a metal-free photocatalytic method for the deoxygenative Z-selective olefination of aliphatic alcohols.
