Modern Organometallic C-H Functionalizations with Earth-Abundant Iron Catalysts: An Update (Gianpiero Cera and co-workers) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/as…

A C–H Functionalization Approach to Diverse Nitrogenous Scaffolds Through Conjugate Addition of Catalytic Allyliron Nucleophiles - now published in Chemical Science pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Today is Sarah's last day in the group. Though a sad occasion, the publication of her solo work on allylic C-H functionalization using N-containing Michael acceptors in Chem. Sci. today is cause for celebration! Congrats, Dr. Scrivener! doi.org/10.1039/D4SC00…

We publish our second paper on pyridoxal biocatalysis in Nature: We repurposed PLP-dependent threonine aldolases to catalyze radical C-C coupling reactions that are not known in either organic chemistry or enzymology: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Congratulations to Jiao and the rest of the gang for getting this paper across the finish line! It's a fitting way to finish up his work as a postdoc in the group. Have a safe journey back to China and best of luck in the next stage of your career! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Yue's paper (Jin and Austin as co-authors), the group's first foray into oxidative C-H functionalization and metalloradical chemistry, has been published in Angewandte: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

A neat way of making fluorinated dienes by Yue and Aaron: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Super excited to share this toolbox and it's really a great collaboration with all of my colleagues!
