The lab was honored to play a very tiny role in this story with #Pfizerchemistry as radical-based decarboxylative amino acid synthesis was used to optimize Paxlovid.

Catalytic synthesis of phenols with N2O. An enormous effort spearheaded by @FranckF1476 !Congrats to all the authors involved. nature.com/articles/s4158…

How does the reductive elimination of aryl-F from Bi(V) work?🤔 Check out my last dance with Cornellab, a HUGE study that includes kinetics, DFT, 23 (!) X-ray structures and improved stoichiometric and catalytic methodologies to furnish fluoroarenes! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Happy to share this work from my postdoc in Cornellab (w/ Feng, Oriol Planas, Markus L., @Nils_Not, Kalishankar, Alex)! We demonstrate mechanistic studies on Bi-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation via Bi(I)/Bi(III) redox cycling. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Thianthrene meets nickel catalysis! We are happy to present our newest publication in Nature Catalysis about C–heteroatom coupling of TT-salts with electron-rich aryls using nickel and light. Great collaboration with Cornellab doi.org/10.1038/s41929…

Expanding the horizons for bismuth as a redox catalyst. Now for cyclopropanation. J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.10… with Shengyang Ni & Davide Spinnato

🚨Calling medicinal chemists🚨: A Suzuki het-het coupling sometimes does not require complex ligands. An air stable Ni would do. Amazing work from Rakan Saeb Rakan Saeb and Byeongdo Roh. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…
