Last week, several undergraduate students from our group completed their honors thesis defenses. Congratulations to Celeste, Justin, Melody, and Kayla on this milestone! We are so proud of your hard work and wish you all the best in your next chapter!
By merging this method with carbonyl migration and established C–H oxidation chemistry, we are now able to apply nitrogen scanning in saturated systems!
Check out our recent work on aliphatic C-to-N atom swap enabled by NAHA chemistry! This strategy enables access to diverse saturated N-heterocycles from cyclic ketones or cyclic alkanes. See: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...
Last week, Cole successfully defended his PhD!
He will be starting his postdoc at Northwestern University.
Congratulations, Dr. Wagner! Wishing you all the best in the future!

Check out our recent work on @chemrxiv.org : using our NAHA reagent, now we are able to remove the carbonyl group from cyclic ketones--through both reductive and annulative pathways!

Check out our latest work on @jacs.acspublications.org : a ligand-controlled enantioconvergent homologation enables efficient access to chiral tertiary alkyl boronates. Congratulations to Miao, @ankizxu.bsky.social and Coco!

Last week, Sohee successfully defended her PhD—congratulations! From the total synthesis of harziane diterpenoids in Snyder group to exploring NAHA chemistry with us over the past two years, what an impressive scientific journey. Wishing her all the best in her next chapter!
Check out our recent work on unstrained C–C activation!
We report a site-selective C-demethylation of phenols and anilines enabled by a removable mono-directing group.
Congrats to Yibin, Liyan, Linda, and Congjun @congjunyu.bsky.social !

It's EDITING day in @science.org chemsky
which is exciting because I'm an editor🙃
Anyway we have three different papers on skeletal editing!
Medicinal chemistry campaigns routinely require access to series of saturated nitrogen heterocycle (SNH)–based analogs that place nitrogen at different positions to probe structure-activity relationsh...
