Check out our new paper, "ß-Phenethylamine Synthesis via Latent Dual Electrophilicity of N-Pyridinium Aziridines," published in Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.! Congrats to Samya (Samya), Promita(@promita87828432), and Braeden! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

Congrats to all student participants at TexSyn VI and in particular to our very own Hao Tan who won the inaugural 3-minute thesis competition!!

Our newest paper in Org. Lett., discusses a method that overcomes classical challenges in selective amine alkylation by accomplishing alkylation via transient, highly nucleophilic pyridinium ylide intermediates. More details below: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Our latest paper, in ACS Catalysis, introduces bidirectional electron transfer processes to form arylamine radical intermediates from N-pyridinium arylamines. Congratulations to Pritam Roychowdhury, Samya and everyone who contributed! Pritam's on a roll! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Happy Friday with hot off the press 'Metal-Free Aziridination of Unactivated Olefins via Transient N-Pyridinium Iminoiodinanes' in JACS Au. Big congrats to Hao, Phong, Uddalak, Isaac and Cali Kucifer. 🥂 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

It's spooky season at Powers Lab! But don't let our research scare you, come and have fun with us tomorrow at the Chemistry Openhouse!!

Congrats to Hao Tan! PhD #11 from the group. Hao has been an amazing mentor to multiple graduate students in the group and has pushed the boundaries of N-aminopyrdinium chemistry. We are very proud of him and wish him the best on his future endeavours.
