Check our synthesis of nimbolide! A streamlined approach enabled by a powerful borylative Heck reaction and a stereochemically interesting alkyl ether formation. Fun fact: two identical twins working on the same molecule...I guess they are trying to keep it in the family😅

Dearomatization of pyridines is a rapidly evolving method of making functionalized amino-hets
The @SarlahLab in #ChemCollabs with #PfizerChemistry has a new oxidative method now out in @J_A_C_S
