📽️ In this new video, the @WickensGroup discuss their recently published article "Regiospecific Alkene Aminofunctionalization via an Electrogenerated Dielectrophile". @ZachWickens@De_holst

Check out our new hydrocarboxylation story! We found our previous system was ineffective for challenging unactivated alkenes but, using a mechanistically-guided approach, we develop a new catalytic system that unlocks this substrate class. Out in @J_A_C_S https://t.co/dQEtpOfNwp
So happy to share that our work using iron(III) salts and visible light to enable cross-nucleophile coupling reactions is out now! Working with Sam, @TehshikYoon, and our collaborators at Pfizer, Mark and @BagPhos, has been an absolute pleasure.

Check out my last major project from grad school!! Amazing to work with Céline and superstar undergrad Casey, who had major contributions early in the project. My favorite part was discovering that proton balance is vital for controlling the reactivity of alkenyl sulfonium salts!
Check out our new platform for alkene aminofunctionalization! We found that dicationic adducts of alkenes and thianthrene undergo selective single substitution by phthalimide to provide a sulfonium salt that can be substituted with various nucleophiles. https://t.co/chJep7PmOU

Time to make more triangles! We introduce our new diastereoselective cyclopropanation protocol using the electrochemical dication pool strategy. Check out all the cool cyclopropanes you can now access at https://t.co/1JOHITedmL!
@OliverPWill and @AlyahChmiel introduce an alcohol deletion protocol using formate and light! But this time, potent reductants weren’t enough. We had to work out how to accelerate fragmentation after reduction. Spoiler alert: acidic promoters were key! https://t.co/orsQfmk51y
Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, banana bond! Our work by Daniel and Ben, in collaboration with @JanssenGlobal on accessing arylated strained rings is now accepted in @angew_chem! https://t.co/AqGOW7cG0Q
Week of many accomplishments for the Wickens group! Congrats @thechestersang for passing his second year exam, @minjik1997 for passing her third year research proposal, and @alyahchmiel for giving a great departmental supergroup presentation!
Our second paper of 2022, published on Twosday 2/22/2022, is about double stereodifferentiation in dual catalytic [2+2] photocycloadditions, with two great collaborators (@Toste_Group and @christine_m_le) https://t.co/0bYM419U3Q
In honor of the #WomenInScience day, we wanted to highlight the scientific contributions of the women in the group with a short thread... Every one of our papers to date has had a woman as either first or co-first author!
Want to replace a C–H bond with an oxidatively sensitive coupling partner? Marco Lopez/Josh Buss developed a C–H chlorination/substitution method to achieve this goal. @UWMadisonChem https://t.co/sk9oaxUsXW
You’ve seen aziridination using our electrochemical dication pool strategy. Now check out this unexpected Z-selective allylic amination process that couples amines and alkenes! Congrats @dj_wang_ and Karina! https://t.co/qIWbI63EPu
Kai and Nathan's general synthesis of biheteroaryls from heteroaryl halides and heteroaryl triflates is now online at @J_A_C_S ! Check it out if you like long walks on the beach, biheteroaryl compounds, and multimetallic catalysis. https://t.co/gjtn24sLnO
