Congratulations to Yoon Lab PhD #26, Dr. Tahoe Fiala!
We're thrilled to welcome new first years Jenna Krussman and Maia Carvalho to the group!
It's been a fun time running the group twitter and now the bluesky! - Yoon lab PhD #27 @ellieplachinski.bsky.social
Two other papers that garnered a lot of discussion in our PoY process were the Park group's report on photocatalytic furan to pyrrole conversion (doi.org/10.1126/science.adq6245) and the Phipps group's report on enantioselective HAA to epimerize of meso diols (doi.org/10.1126/science.adq8029)
Our two other finalists were the Jacobson group's catalysis of an Sn2 by geometric preorganization (doi.org/10.1038/s41586-024-07811-4) (the mod's personal favorite) and the Reisman/Peters groups' report on catalytic Sm (doi.org/10.1126/science.adp5777)
On Monday we held our annual paper of the year group meeting, and the group has selected the Macmillan group's alcohol-alcohol cross coupling enabled by SH2 radical sorting as our favorite paper of 2024! (doi.org/10.1126/science.adl5890)
Friends, I'm pleased to draw your attention to two new preprints today describing complementary heteroatom insertion reactions into saturated carbocycles, one from our group and another from the Knowles laboratory.

The identity of a heteroatom within an aromatic ring influences the chemical properties of that heterocyclic compound. Systematically evaluating the effect of a single atom, however, poses synthetic c...

A small-molecule (646 Da) hydrogen-bond-donor catalyst accelerates the SN2 step of an enantioselective Michaelis–Arbuzov reaction by recapitulating the geometric preorganization principle used by enzy...
Really excited to see this amazing work out in ChemRxiv from our #ChemCollab between the @uwyoongroup.bsky.social @tehshik.bsky.social and #PfizerChemistry
