New Article in The Journal of Organic Chemistry!
The article describes the synthesis of various alkynylsilanes, siloxanes, and silyl ethers in the presence of potassium hydroxide and TMSCF3
The Kucinski Lab is located in the Faculty of Chemistry at the Adam Mickiewicz University (Poznan, Poland). Our young group has an interest in developing innovative synthetic methodologies for applications across the organosilicon, organoboron, and organosulfur chemistries.

Born in Inowrocław, Krzysztof received his M.S. degree from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań (AMU) in 2014 under the supervision of Prof. dr. Bogdan Marciniec. His Ph.D. work was done at the same institution under the direction of Prof. dr. Grzegorz Hreczycho. Krzysztof Kuciński has been an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry and Technology of Silicon Compounds at AMU since March 2019.
In 2020, he moved to Germany for a postdoctoral fellowship with Prof. dr. Lutz Ackermann. In 2021, he returned and began the project entitled “Synthesis of Organosilicon Compounds - From Classical Catalysis to Electrocatalysis”. His main research interests include organoboron, organosilicon, and organosulfur chemistry with a strong emphasis on the sustainability of the processes.
