Congratulations to Jack and Richard on their recent publication in JACS @J_A_C_S! They report a novel homologation method that is applied to several drug and natural product derivatives containing carboxylic acids. Make sure to check it out! @uncchemistry pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

Homologation of Carboxylic Acids Using a Radical-Polar Conjunctive Reagent

Abstract. Homologations of organic molecules that add a carbon atom to the substrate are useful in drug discovery to access compounds with improved propert

C(sp3)−H (N‐Phenyltetrazole)thiolation as an Enabling Tool for Molecular Diversification

The (N-phenyltetrazole)thiolation of aliphatic and (hetero)benzylic C−H bonds allows access to N-phenyltetrazole thioethers which are elaborated in diverse fragment couplings for C−C, C−O, or C−N...

Hot off the press! Check out Mason's and Alex's recent publication on the Cobalt-catalyzed synthesis of amides from alkenes and amines in @ScienceMagazine This is a paper that you will not want to miss! 🥳 science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Cobalt-catalyzed synthesis of amides from alkenes and amines promoted by light

A simple cobalt catalyst active for hydroformylation can also couple alkenes, amines, and carbon monoxide under photochemical conditions.
