Congrats to all! Come see our latest work on constructing E/Z-selective chiral a-vinyl phosphonates! I especially like that we investigated the mechanism of how photocatalyst activates vinyl bromide as well as inducing the E/Z selectivity with its triplet state energy.

Also thank you to @Chem_CP for the invitation, it’s truly a great pleasure to share with the readers about our exploration in the field of metallaphotoredox catalysis and my personal stories in pursuing a PhD degree in United States.

[Mingbin Yuan @MingbinYuan]

THRILLED to share the latest in print! I was lucky to meet a great mentor and many nice friends who support me through this PhD journey. Definitely learnt a lot in the last five years, from being a good researcher to exploring what I really want in life. https://t.co/9LPaJYnhbL

@balu_dherange @gutierrez_lab Thank you, Balu!

[Mingbin Yuan @MingbinYuan]

@gutierrez_lab Thank you for your awesome mentorship throughout these years, Osvaldo! Definitely one of the best choices I made to join your group in 2017!

It began in my last year of PhD in @gutierrez_lab (still remembered thinking it as a “quick” add-on project), yet it’s thrilled to see how our amazing collaborators @balu_dherange @LevinChem @ckellzchem @JanssenUS expanded it into such a great one! Collaborations rock!

[Mingbin Yuan @MingbinYuan]

Beyond excited to share our latest collaboration work⁩ on the “direct deaminative functionalization” just came out in ⁦@J_A_C_S⁩ ! Following our last work, we studied in detail the HAT step and the polarity matching effect with computation. https://t.co/sfRkAutgRt

[Mingbin Yuan @MingbinYuan]

And of course, consistent with our last collaboration, we explored the enantioselectivity of the C-C bond formation with Ni catalyst 😎 Spoiler alert, the directing group plays an unexpected role of controlling the C-centered radical approaching the metal center!

Congrats to all! Come see our latest work on constructing E/Z-selective chiral a-vinyl phosphonates! I especially like that we investigated the mechanism of how photocatalyst activates vinyl bromide as well as inducing the E/Z selectivity with its triplet state energy.

BREAKING NEWS:
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2022 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless “for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.”

[Mingbin Yuan @MingbinYuan]

Thanks for the amazing party and the beautiful cake!! Definitely one of the best decisions I have made to join the group in 2017! (Before: What your advisor wanted the manuscript to be; after: how you think about writing the first draft)
