BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi “for the development of metal–organic frameworks.”

Our undergrad Rodrigo wondered if we could replace the bespoke chiral acid used in our recent asymmetric photochemistry with commercial (S)-TRIP. His protocol for enantioselective truxinate synthesis on 2-gram scale just dropped on @OrgSynth: https://t.co/Af1e9Yq2TS

[Tehshik Yoon @TehshikYoon]

Alana, Arindam, and Mihai dropped a comprehensive preparative, spectroscopic, and computational study to understand why this photocatalytic aziridination is so darn good. Big collab among us, @madrauer, and @bobbypaton through the new @nsfsuprcat CCI.

New paper in @J_A_C_S ! Jesse, @tahoefiala, and @DrSwordsChem report the development of the first highly enantioselective catalytic Paternò-Büchi reaction. https://t.co/uU9IMoyExc

[Tehshik Yoon @TehshikYoon]

New paper! @ElliePlachinski, Hyung Joo, and @GenzinkMatthew have a solid-state photochemistry approach to the truxillate family of natural products in @J_A_C_S today. https://t.co/J0Sp6w4AID

Our paper of the year is the Zuo lab's multiplicative enhancement of stereoenrichment by a single catalyst for deracemization of alcohols! https://t.co/Y2mKRS7cef

[Tehshik Yoon @TehshikYoon]

Now on the ChemRxiv: My lab has tried to develop an enantioselective catalytic Paternò–Büchi reaction for 15 years. Jesse, @tahoefiala, and @DrSwordsChem took a mechanistically inspired approach to the problem and finally cracked it! https://t.co/969LwVQTds

(1/2) Two new papers this week! First, @DrSwordsChem and Hanna from @baikkaist lead a comprehensive synthetic, spectroscopic, and computational study of a new asymmetric catalytic 6π photoelectrocyclization in @J_A_C_S: https://t.co/g4A3zVfFnq

Last week we held our second Process Chemistry Workshop here @abbvie North Chicago! It was an absolute pleasure giving 17 graduate student guests a glimpse into the world of process chemistry. Thank you to all the students and organizers! Until next year… #PCW #abbvie

[Wickens Group @WickensGroup]

Check out our latest work @J_A_C_S leveraging electrophotocatalysis to access ketyl radicals! We found polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are a uniquely competent class of catalysts, which enabled our group's first non-fragmentation based reduction strategy https://t.co/MgGIXLjRJO

[Yoon Group @uwyoongroup]

Congratulations to @GenzinkMatthew, @MatthewRossler1, and Herman on their publication in @J_A_C_S today on the synthesis of truxinate natural products enabled by enantioselective [2+2] photocycloadditions! https://t.co/Das6wsKOvF

Congratulations to Yoon Lab Phd #25, Dr. Grace Lutovsky @grace_lutovsky! 🥂 🎉

[Yoon Group @uwyoongroup]

Congratulations to @grace_lutovsky, @ElliePlachinski, and @nicholaslreed16 on the publication of their development of an allylic amination reaction of highly substituted alkenes enabled by Cu(II)-mediated radical–polar crossover! Read it here: https://t.co/OlPZi9nUt8

Congrats, Dr. Genzink! @GenzinkMatthew

[Yoon Group @uwyoongroup]

Congratulations to @kelch_riley, Dr. Andrew Whyte, & Eunji Lee on the publication of their study of the effects of Lewis acid co-catalysts in the visible light De Mayo Reaction! Read it here: https://t.co/ZWYeMqfWF9

Cheers to our post-doc Francesca, who will be starting a tenure-track position at Hamline University this fall! 🥂 We will miss you, but we’re so excited to see what cool reactions the Ippoliti Lab develops! @GargLab
