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. Am. Chem. Soc. bit.ly/42OHfn4


We are excited to share our discovery on Enhanced Excited-State Hydricity of Pd−H that Allows us for Unusual Head-to-Tail Hydroalkenylation of Alkenes; now out in J. Am. Chem. Soc. Congrats Sumon Sarkar, Soumen Ghosh, Dasha, and Yusuf on putting it all together. Yusuf


📢 FREE WEBINAR 📢 As part of our Sygnature Discovery Guest Lecture series (#SGL) Jacobsen Lab will talk about: "Privileged Chiral Catalysts: #Selectivity and #Generality in #Enantioselective #Catalysis." 7th June 3-4pm BST Register on Zoom: lnkd.in/eVssDC5q #RealTimeChem


Proudly presenting: Universal organocatalytic method to put 1, or 2, or 3 boron groups onto alkynes with very good selectivity and efficiency. It's also amenable to continuous #flow setup. Hot off ACS Catalysis, please have a read #ozchem #boration doi.org/10.1021/acscat…


Had an amazing exchange semester in Korea. Many thanks to Professor Hyunwoo Kim for research opportunities in electrochemistry. So inspiring experience! 💥 Also thanks to my labmates: 아현 언니, 세화 언니 and 선영 언니 for your guidance and support. I will miss you! ❤️





Super helpful resource to perform air- and moisture-sensitive techniques from Andryj Borys --- An Illustrated Guide to Schlenk Line Techniques | Organometallics pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Thrilled to share our new study of anti-Bredt olefins in Science Magazine. Congrats to the authors for this nicely timed study, 100 yrs after “Bredt’s Rule” came to be. Read it here: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… @ucla UCLA Chem & Biochem Ken Houk

Congrats to Webster Santos grad student Mai K. Le Mai for winning the grand prize for the best poster presentation at the 2nd annual chemistry graduate student symposium. 🙌 Virginia Tech Chemistry
