For a recent application of our Ir-catalyzed crotylation on a challenging a-stereogenic alcohol, see Chao Liโs elegant syntheses of Nonthmicin and Ecteinamycin! https://t.co/s8AepEKu6x
Here, we report the first examples of alcohol-mediated nitrile reductive C-C coupling. Congrats to Sebastian, Colin and Weijia! https://t.co/R5xusnKNjN
Many thanks to colleagues in Hokkaido for recognition of our work โ and many thanks to students past and present for bringing it life! https://t.co/wUIlwxCdqd
Conjugation of phenyl and pyridyl bioisosteres via azole/azine C-H functionalization beyond premetalated reagents or photochemical promotions! https://t.co/wQQD74pooc
Metal-centered stereochemistry unlocks the mystery of halide counterion effects. Congrats to Connor, Ed and our collaborators Andrea and Stefan! https://t.co/cowkZXCQQa
Congrats to Weijia, Sebastian, Colin, Nick, Andrea and Prof. Gimme for discovering and understanding (via computation) this base-free alkynylation of fluoral where 1 of 12 diastereomeric-at-metal complexes dominates the kinetics of carbonyl addition. https://t.co/8IEHnYJlqk
The low aromatic stabilization energies of azoles/azines unlock a novel pathway for N-heteroaryl C-H functionalization via dearomative addition-hydrogen auto-transfer. Congrats to Nick, Brandon, Niclas, Vinnie, Sarah and Tate on this amazing reaction! https://t.co/olyWZsUbGH
Great news! The deadline for poster presenters and attendees to register for the Women in Catalysis and Synthetic Chemistry Symposium has been extended to November 3rd. We hope to see y'all there!
