Interrogating the Mechanistic Features of Ni(I)-Mediated Aryl Iodide Oxidative Addition Using Electroanalytical and Statistical Modeling Techniques
Congratulations to Daniel, Wendy, and their Sigman group collaborators on their publication!
Radical Redox Annulations: A General Light-Driven Method for the Synthesis of Saturated Heterocycles
Izzy’s paper on a general two-component annulation strategy that provides access to a diverse collection of five- and six-membered saturated heterocycles was published in ACS Catalysis. Great work and congratulations!
A Multi-Objective Active Learning Platform and Web App for Reaction Optimization
Jose and Will’s work on the development of an open-source experimental design via Bayesian optimization platform (EDBO+) for multi-objective reaction optimization was recently published in JACS. (https://www.edbowebapp.com/) Congratulations!
Ni/Photoredox-Catalyzed C(sp3)–C(sp3) Coupling between Aziridines and Acetals as Alcohol-Derived Alkyl Radical Precursors
Sun’s paper on a novel Ni/photoredox methodology for C(sp3)–C(sp3) cross-coupling between aziridines and aliphatic alcohols activated as benzaldehyde dialkyl acetals was published in JACS. Congratulations!
Structure–Reactivity Relationships of Buchwald-Type Phosphines in Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Couplings
Sam and Jason’s work on elucidating structure–reactivity relationships of Buchwald-type phosphines in Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions was recently published in JACS. Congratulations!
Congratulations Jose!
We wish our former postdoc Dr. Jose Garrido Torres all the best as he begins his new position as a senior researcher at Microsoft!
