We are thrilled to see our collaborative work with the Gutierrez group at @uclachem published in @ACSCatalysis today! Congrats to @bryanparnitzke and team on an impressive study! More to come in this area soon, building on exciting mechanistic insights. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Congrats to @Yahuiiiiiiii and Siyuan on their Perspective in ACS Electrochemistry! We highlight strategies over the last ~10 years in Shono-type functionalization from tunable conditions to mediators, outlining exciting prospects for further development. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

This is a really nice example of selectivity emerging from constraint, not just energetics. The Co–O–C interaction looks less like a secondary stabilisation and more like a geometric gate in configuration space, effectively collapsing the accessible pathways so the Z-product becomes the only coherent reconstruction. In that light, the DFT isn’t just explaining selectivity after the fact; it’s revealing a structure-first control mechanism, where redox mediation and MS-PCET act to maintain the constraint rather than drive the outcome. That’s an interesting direction for thinking about scalability and robustness in catalytic design. @derosalab @uclachem @ACSCatalysis

Fantastic visit at @UniofNottingham School of Chemistry today sharing some of our recent work in @derosalab using voltage control to enable selective electrosynthesis and catalysis. Thanks to @miriamoduill for the gracious hosting and organizing great discussions with faculty!

Congrats to Zi and team on the publication of our study on a redox mediator strategy to electroreductively harness Fe(I) in alkyne semi-hydrogenation! This work is now published in @ACSCatalysis - stay tuned for more from #TeamFe. #chemtwitter #newPI pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

We are grateful to the @acsprf for funding our proposal on arene functionalization strategies for upconversion of aromatic feedstocks! Congrats to all the awardees this cycle: cen.acs.org/acs-news/ACS-Boa…

Congrats to Brett and Jillian on this incredibly powerful e-SNAr strategy! Synthetically enabling, extremely robust, and highly energy-efficient with as low as 20 mW of power at 50 mmol scale with a proposed uphill ET-promoted redox chain mechanism. Dump, stir, ⚡️ #chemtwitter

SNAr powers the engine of drug discovery and production, but electronic demands restrict access to important chemical space. We describe an e-SNAr strategy to bridge this gap that operates under air at RT with catalytic charge, simplifying scalability. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv…

Harnessing reduced Fe in electrocatalysis faces many challenges with respect over-reduction and catalyst instability. In this preprint, we describe a redox mediator strategy to tame a (P3P)Fe(I) species for semi-hydrogenation of alkynes as a model study: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv…

Huge congrats to our very own @bryanparnitzke for being awarded the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship! We are so proud of you! 🎉🥳 #chemtwitter #nsfgrfp

San Diego, here we come! For anyone interested in what we've been up to, please consider stopping by one of our talks next week at ACS Spring 2025! #ACSSpring2025 #chemtwitter

Congrats to Bryan on a fantastic qualifying examination! We are so proud of you! #newPI #phdlife #chemtwitter

SAXITOXIN simplified: Appearing today in @ChemRxiv is a short, highly scalable, convergent approach to this entire natural product family using a tactical combination of radical retrosynthesis, biocatalysis (in collaboration with Merck), and C–H functionalization logic: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv…

Congrats to our FIRST PhD Candidate, Leyla, on passing her qualifying exam with flying colors! We are so proud of you! #newPI #echem #phdlife

We are super stoked to announce that three fantastic G1s have joined our team! Welcome to Jillian, Wesley, and Alec - we're excited to see the groundbreaking chemistry you uncover! #chemtwitter derosalab.com/post/welcome-t…
