Our undergrad Rodrigo wondered if we could replace the bespoke chiral acid used in our recent asymmetric photochemistry with commercial (S)-TRIP. His protocol for enantioselective truxinate synthesis on 2-gram scale just dropped on Organic Syntheses: orgsyn.org/demo.aspx?prep…



Team Phen had a ton of fun on our newest paper out now in ACS Catalysis, using a combo of kinetics & data science to study the mechanism & origins of selectivity in a Pd-cat. aryne annulation! Congrats team!! 🎉 Erin Plasek Brylon Denman Courtney Roberts pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

An expanded version of this work is now out in J. Am. Chem. Soc.: doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4… Many thanks to several fantastic reviewers who guided us to improve the study (incl discovery of a new ligand for less biased p-alkyl/aryl substrates). Happy Holidays!




🚨Introducing a curious concept in #photochemistry "#Photoredox #Autocatalysis"🔁⤴️. A diverse library of 'BASN' sulfonamide photocats self-synthesizes from cheap, commercial materials&light,💡primed for rxn screening. Check it out in ACIE👉 Angewandte Chemie tinyurl.com/2s3m8faj


We’re very excited to share our latest work on electrochemical coupling of olefins and CO2 in Angewandte Chemie. Alternating polarity improves selectivity and tuned the mechanism unique to other electrochemical olefin functionalization reactions. Congratulations, Stella! ⚡️
