Malapit Lab

The next @ACSOrganic Virtual Symposium on Jan 14 @ 12 noon ET ft. Prof. Christian Malapit @MalapitLab and Dr. Kaid Harper #AbbVieChemistry #Electrochem Hosted by @AleksHolownia & @OChem_Grenning Free to watch YouTube: orgn.link/watch Zoom: emory.zoom.us/j/18563507

I’m excited to share our latest paper out now in @J_A_C_S. Mechanistic studies on alternating polarity AP electrolysis in generation of Ary/Alkyl radicals from organoboron (and carboxylic acids). We show that potential mapping (based on current and frequency) can predict & optimize radical generation and understand challenges (unwanted oxidation, passivation). Congrats to Jake and team #organoboron! lnkd.in/gwJxQVqa

New paper: Aryl radicals from boronic acids via fluoride activation out now in ChemElectroChem “Electrochemistry Talents” special collection. Congratulations to Enqi, Ian, @ortho_maxb, Lise, and Rossul for this wonderful work! #TeamOrganoboron @ChemEurope @NUChemistry @MalapitLab …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ce…

Now online: Article by Christian A. Malapit & co-workers @CAMalapit @NUChemistry @evamariawara Electrochemical oxidation enables aromatic C–H amination with dual mechanisms nature.com/articles/s4416… ($)

We are happy to share our latest work now out in @NatureSynthesis. Via electrochemical oxidation of amine (DABCO) to N-radical dication, we show that selective aromatic C-H amination can be achieved, including previously challenging arenes. Congrats to Griffin, @evamariawara, Chris, and collaborators Jonathan, @kalowlab @MalapitLab nature.com/articles/s4416…

Amazing two days of hosting Phil Baran @BaranLabReads for the Bender Distinguished Lectures @NUChemistry ⚡️Thanks for the inspiring talks and stories!

We are thrilled to celebrate Dr./Prof. Eva Alvarez @evamariawara as she begins her role as Assistant Professor at U of Virginia @ChemistryUVA this week! Thank you for the leadership and mentorship you brought to @MalapitLab and @NUChemistry! We will miss you! 💜🧡

Effect of Alternating Polarity in Electrochemical Olefin Hydrocarboxylation (Christian A. Malapit and co-workers) @CAMalapit @synthesisstel #openaccess 🔓 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

We’re very excited to share our latest work on electrochemical coupling of olefins and CO2 in @angew_chem. Alternating polarity improves selectivity and tuned the mechanism unique to other electrochemical olefin functionalization reactions. Congratulations, Stella! ⚡️ @synthesisstel onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

Thrilled to share my work out now in @angew_chem! We demonstrate the power of alternating polarity in electrochemical olefin hydrocarboxylation, highlighting its role in hindering electrode passivation and promoting an ECC mechanism. Check it out!

We're excited to share our first Rowan Research Spotlight, highlighting Jake Evans and An Kitamura's work on organic electrochemistry in @CAMalapit's group (@MalapitLab) at Northwestern (@NUChemistry). (link below!)

Congratulations to our very own, Prof. Eva Alvarez!!! We are all very proud of you. Can’t wait for the Alvarez Lab to come in fruition at @ChemistryUVA ✨

I am excited to share that I will be starting my independent career as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Virginia (UVA) this Fall! @ChemistryUVA Muy contenta de empezar un nuevo capitulo en mi carrera academica!

With simple molecular tweaking, researchers have converted a common chemical waste product, triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO), into an electrolyte material suitable for use in batteries connected to the power grid. cen.acs.org/energy/energy-… .

Finally, a radical–radical cross-coupling! After 180 years of generating C-radicals from carboxylic acids, we can now couple them with radicals from organoboron reagents. In our first @ChemRxiv we introduce redox matched electrolysis to discover a “carboxylic acid–organoboron coupling reaction” chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

With a clever tweak, the @MalapitLab turned chemical waste (#TPPO) into electrolyte material for grid batteries! 🔋 #SustainableEnergy #OrganicChemistry Learn more in @cenmag ➡️ cen.acs.org/energy/energy-…

Thank you @cenmag for highlighting our work. 🔋 Battery from triphenylphosphine oxide. Prachi Patel, C&EN cen.acs.org/energy/energy-…

Turning trash into treasure 🗑️♻️🔋 Northwestern researchers transformed an organic industrial waste product into an efficient storage agent for sustainable energy solutions that can one day be applied at much larger scales. spr.ly/6019aJ3ut
