Inspired by nature, we used water as both solvent and reagent in developing a metal-free deuteration catalyzed by triaryl carbenium ion-pair. This approach offers a sustainable alternative to traditional H/D exchange, addressing metal-related challenges. doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

Congrats to @wanry1991 and @jzhhua for developing a metal-free strategy using a triaryl carbenium ion pair as a catalyst to generate β-carbolines from tryptamines and aromatic aldehydes @CellRepPhysSci doi.org/10.1016/j.xcrp…

Congrats to Zhenguo and @jzhhua for developing an efficient, metal-free method to access 3,3'-bisindolylmethanes (BIMs) in water, via Friedel-Crafts type reaction of indoles and carbonyl compounds doi.org/10.1039/D2QO01… @OrgChemFront

The 2022 #NobelPrize laureates in chemistry Barry Sharpless and Morten Meldal have laid the foundation for a functional form of chemistry – click chemistry – in which molecular building blocks snap together quickly and efficiently.

Congrats to @wanry1991 and @jzhhua for develping a metal-free aerobic dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles by a triphenylmethyl radical @ACSCatalysis doi.org/10.1021/acscat…
