Congratulations Ben!
Ben Shields recently began a position as a Research Investigator II in Cheminformatics at Bristol Myers Squibb! We wish Ben all the best as he begins what is sure to be a very successful career!
Mia Borden, PhD
On June 22, Mia gave an outstanding final public oral to the department on her work in the Doyle Lab, which focused on asymmetric Ni-catalyzed cross-couplings! She recently headed south to UNC Chapel Hill, where she will be a postdoctoral associate
Jesús Estrada: Chem Ph.D, Merck Scientist, “Dreamer”
In a recent Princeton Chemistry Alumni Spotlight, Doyle Lab graduate Jesús Estrada, Ph.D. ‘19, reflected on the importance of the DACA program in allowing him to achieve his educational goals and become a Senior Scientist at Merck. Check out the article here!
Nucleophilic (Radio)Fluorination of Redox-Active Esters via Radical-Polar Crossover Enabled by Photoredox Catalysis
Nucleophilic (Radio)Fluorination of Redox-Active Esters via Radical-Polar Crossover Enabled by Photoredox Catalysis. Eric and John’s work in collaboration with BMS on a redox-neutral method for nucleophilic fluorination of phthalimide esters was just published in JACS (check it out here)! Congrats on completing
Regioselective Cross-Electrophile Coupling of Epoxides and (Hetero)aryl Iodides via Ni/Ti/Photoredox Catalysis
Marvin’s work on developing a novel methodology for cross-coupling epoxides and aryl iodides using Ni/Ti/Photoredox catalysis was just published in ACS Catalysis! The mild cross-electrophile approach tolerates three distinct classes of epoxides and a broad scope of aryl iodides. Check it out
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!
