Please check out our latest achievement in C–C activation: Downsizing lactams via Rh-catalyzed C–C activation. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Congratulations to Rui Rui Zhang and Kangmin Kangmin Wen

🚨 A single-atom swap could change the game in drug discovery! 🧪💥 We have just unveiled a CO-to-S atom swap method that turns ketones into sulfur-containing frameworks in complex, bioactive molecules in just two steps. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Congratulations to Zining.

🚨Just out in Nature! We have offered a general method for 1,2-difunctionalization of arenes via differential 1,2-diborylation! rdcu.be/esXq8 nature.com/articles/s4158… Congratulations to Jingfeng!

🔥 Scalable achievement in enantioselective homologation. 🔥 Our work on "Enantioconvergent carbenoid insertion into carbon−boron bonds" is now online on Nature Synthesis rdcu.be/etopg 🎉Congratulations to Qiqiang! 🙏Thanks to our collaborator Liu group Peng Liu Group

🚀New advance toward asymmetric α‑Alkylation of Aldehydes. ✨Lead by Kezhi Krypton Chen, we report a branched-selective α-alkylation of aldehydes with unactivated olefins — enabled by a pyrazole mediator and a chiral Ir catalyst. Congrats! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Last weekend, we had a wonderful farewell party for Congjun (Congjun Yu) and Miao (Miao Chen) at Guangbin’s home. Congjun will join CU Boulder as a tenure-track Assistant Professor, and Miao will be starting at Merck as a Senior Scientist. Wishing them both the best of luck!

Check out our recent Nature Catalysis work on ruthenium-catalysed site-selective arene saturation—turning flat arenes into 3D sp³ frameworks! 👏Congrats to Congjun Yu and the team! Read here: rdcu.be/eCQQB

Developed by Liyan Kan & Rui Zhang, we expand our cut-and-sew chemistry to β-lactams, enabling access to diverse bridged & fused N-heterocycles. Now online in J. Am. Chem. Soc.! Congratulations to the team! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Check out our latest work in Nature Chemistry ! We developed a platform using 1,2-oxaborines to construct a broad range of aromatic and non-aromatic cores from common enone/enal precursors. Congratulations to Yao and the team! Read here: rdcu.be/eJ90T
