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!
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!
