BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi “for the development of metal–organic frameworks.”

Congratulations to @TehshikYoon, winner of the David A. Evans Award for the Advancement and Education of Organic Synthesis from the American Chemical Society.

We are happy to present 🔥ℝ𝕖𝕘𝕖𝕟𝕖𝕣𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕧𝕖 ℙ𝕙𝕠𝕥𝕠𝕔𝕒𝕥𝕒𝕝𝕪𝕤𝕚𝕤💥 to the community... Try your most crazy reactions within this manifold 🫴chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Our undergrad Rodrigo wondered if we could replace the bespoke chiral acid used in our recent asymmetric photochemistry with commercial (S)-TRIP. His protocol for enantioselective truxinate synthesis on 2-gram scale just dropped on @OrgSynth: orgsyn.org/demo.aspx?prep…

Alana, Arindam, and Mihai dropped a comprehensive preparative, spectroscopic, and computational study to understand why this photocatalytic aziridination is so darn good. Big collab among us, @madrauer, and @bobbypaton through the new @nsfsuprcat CCI. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

New paper in @J_A_C_S ! Jesse, @tahoefiala, and @DrSwordsChem report the development of the first highly enantioselective catalytic Paternò-Büchi reaction. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

New paper! @ElliePlachinski, Hyung Joo, and @GenzinkMatthew have a solid-state photochemistry approach to the truxillate family of natural products in @J_A_C_S today. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Our paper of the year is the Zuo lab's multiplicative enhancement of stereoenrichment by a single catalyst for deracemization of alcohols! doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

Now on the ChemRxiv: My lab has tried to develop an enantioselective catalytic Paternò–Büchi reaction for 15 years. Jesse, @tahoefiala, and @DrSwordsChem took a mechanistically inspired approach to the problem and finally cracked it! doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

(1/2) Two new papers this week! First, @DrSwordsChem and Hanna from @baikkaist lead a comprehensive synthetic, spectroscopic, and computational study of a new asymmetric catalytic 6π photoelectrocyclization in @J_A_C_S: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Last week we held our second Process Chemistry Workshop here @abbvie North Chicago! It was an absolute pleasure giving 17 graduate student guests a glimpse into the world of process chemistry. Thank you to all the students and organizers! Until next year… #PCW #abbvie

Check out our latest work @J_A_C_S leveraging electrophotocatalysis to access ketyl radicals! We found polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are a uniquely competent class of catalysts, which enabled our group's first non-fragmentation based reduction strategy bit.ly/48j9E8v

Congratulations to @GenzinkMatthew, @MatthewRossler1, and Herman on their publication in @J_A_C_S today on the synthesis of truxinate natural products enabled by enantioselective [2+2] photocycloadditions! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Congratulations to Yoon Lab Phd #25, Dr. Grace Lutovsky @grace_lutovsky! 🥂 🎉

Congratulations to @grace_lutovsky, @ElliePlachinski, and @nicholaslreed16 on the publication of their development of an allylic amination reaction of highly substituted alkenes enabled by Cu(II)-mediated radical–polar crossover! Read it here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Congrats, Dr. Genzink! @GenzinkMatthew

Congratulations to @kelch_riley, Dr. Andrew Whyte, & Eunji Lee on the publication of their study of the effects of Lewis acid co-catalysts in the visible light De Mayo Reaction! Read it here: doi.org/10.1021/acs.or…

Cheers to our post-doc Francesca, who will be starting a tenure-track position at Hamline University this fall! 🥂 We will miss you, but we’re so excited to see what cool reactions the Ippoliti Lab develops! @GargLab
