Eric Webb, PhD
On April 29th, Eric Webb gave his departmental Final Public Oral to a packed Zoom audience, making the Doyle Lab’s first virtual thesis defense a success! Congrats on your PhD, Dr. Webb!
Role of Electron-Deficient Olefin Ligands in a Ni-Catalyzed Aziridine Cross-Coupling To Generate Quaternary Carbons
Jesús, Wendy, and Stephen’s work on elucidating the mechanism of Ni-catalyzed Negishi Couplings of Aziridines, and the associated ligand effects of electron deficient olefin ligand, Fro-DO, was just published in JACS! Congrats on the completion of an exciting project!
Izzy’s Generals
Congratulations to Izzy on recently passing her “zoom”erals exam! Fantastic job, and we’ll have to celebrate with a champagne toast when we all return to lab!
Congratulations Talia!
Talia recently packed up her car (with some help from her dog Bialy) and headed north to the Boston area to begin a new position at Snapdragon Chemistry. You certainly will be missed by all in the Doyle Lab, but we
Nickel/Photoredox-Catalyzed Methylation of (Hetero)aryl Chlorides Using Trimethyl Orthoformate as a Methyl Radical Source
Stavros, Ben, and Makeda’s work, in collaboration with Mike Zacuto at Celgene, to “photo-eliminate a gap in the methylation methodology” has recently been published in JACS! Congrats to the team and great work!
Synthesis of β-Phenethylamines via Ni/Photoredox Cross-Electrophile Coupling of Aliphatic Aziridines and Aryl Iodides
Talia, Junyi, and Mani’s work on developing a new Ni/Photoredox methodology to synthesize pharmaceutically relevant β-Phenethylamines was recently accepted and published in JACS! Great work!
