Our group’s first publication and my first first author paper is now online @J_A_C_S
12 Feb 2024
!! Our group's first publication is now available in the J. Am. Chem. Soc.! We developed a scalable, iron-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling and used it in a number of applications! We sincerely thank reviewers for strengthening our report. Please join me in congratulating Julius (@Ju_Seme) and Yuanjie! Learn more here, pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

We created a new class of arylpropionamide AR modulators derived from amino acids, addressing several limitations. Compounds show strong AR binding and structure-dependent (ant)agonism. You can read more, here pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

We are thrilled to share our latest discovery nature.com/articles/s42004-0… ! Give this iron-catalyzed reaction a go if you need a benzylic or tertiary carbon–heteroatom bond! I can't wait to further apply it ourselves! Congrats to the team on filling some nice gaps in metal catalysis!
