Exploring the mechanism of Co-catalyzed C(sp2)-C(sp3) cross coupling. Some tricky compounds to study, great job by @ChirikGroup's @reggiemills28 along with @stevewiz06 and Eric Simmons. https://t.co/Er8OmlHbbC

@MarkStradiotto @Orgmet_ACS @IncParaza Very nice! Congrats to all

[Nick Michel @NickMichel13]

@Shenvi_Lab @SarJHill @nathandao1109 Awesome work!

@ewenthel Fun fact: this compound smells like a nice flower garden 🌷

@reggiemills28 The key is to undercook the ligands

The Keith Fagnou Award is presented to a scientist residing in Canada who has made a distinguished contribution to organic chemistry while working in Canada. Congrats to Dr. Sophie Rousseaux @RousseauxGroup of @UofT on being the recipient of this award. https://t.co/7aIrRXVFYU

[Tyler McDonald @tymcdon]

Really happy to have this out! Very thankful to @RousseauxGroup and all my fellow labmates who provided valuable feedback and support through it all.

@andrei_yudin I'm pretty sure Nicolaou did something like this in the 1st Classics in Total Synthesis. I don't recall which molecule though.

@reggiemills28 @tymcdon Scarborough is so beautiful this time of year. Something about lake Ontario just gives it this je ne sais quoi.

[Nick Michel @NickMichel13]

@BagPhos @JOC_OL Great stuff! Those 2-halopyridines/pyrimidines can be a real challenge in this type of chemistry.

[Nick Michel @NickMichel13]

@reggiemills28 @scburdet Oh yes. I'd sign up in a heartbeat

[Nick Michel @NickMichel13]

@AugustinPeneau Haha you can always filter off that NaCl later
