!! 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…

Check out our latest article in @J_A_C_S! We developed a new cascade reaction that combines alkylation, Heck carbopalladation, and C(sp3)–H annulation to generate cyclopropane or cyclobutane heterocycles.

It was great seeing @_Picazo today at UC San Diego. Great takeaways on Iron catalysis and DASA chemistry. I always leave feeling inspired by our conversations about organic chemistry.
By the way, I have never seen a speaker get so jolly about post-presentation questions 🤣
