General Light-Induced Pd-Catalyzed Allylic C–H Alkylation of Internal Alkenes: Direct Access to Tertiary and Quaternary Carbon Centers | Journal of the American Chemical Society @GevorgyanLab @UT_Dallas

Direct C–H alkylation could be a very useful strategy for rapidly building molecular diversity, including 3° & 4° carbon centers. Congrats Subham & Gaurav on developing Light-Induced Pd-Catalyzed Allylic C–H Alkylation of Internal Alkenes! out in @J_A_C_S https://t.co/HnqDfzs7bk

Won 1st prize at the Welch poster awards held at The Post Oak Hotel in Uptown Houston on Oct 27–28, 2025. Great conference, excellent talks, outstanding clinical research and an awesome funding agency @WelchFoundation Thank you for the prize!

🚨 Two new C–H bonds borylated – no metals, no catalysts, just light! Excited to share our work, now out in @J_A_C_S: Site-selective β- & γ-C–H borylation of amines, featuring a new tether for elusive β-functionalization. Grateful to Nitish, Tong & Vlad! https://t.co/QoAsIaLJFe

Please join us in congratulating Sumon, Nitish, & Tong for achieving photoinduced, site-selective β- and γ-borylation of amines using a new, easily installable/ removable radical translocating group, enabling late-stage derivatization. Out now in @J_A_C_S https://t.co/JVvLY2gF4m

Aryl radical-mediated dual HAT enables direct CDC of aldehydes & alkenes to form skipped enones with high chemoselectivity! Congrats, Sidhant & Pramod, for developing Ni-Catalyzed Cross-Dehydrogenative Coupling toward Skipped Enones, now out in @J_A_C_S https://t.co/fWWMusfC2m

@J_A_C_S Computational studies conducted by our awesome collaborators @pengliu_group support the DIXAT mechanism. Congrats to Sidhant, Kevin, and Turki, for putting it all together.

Our latest discovery on Ni-catalyzed directed halogen atom transfer(DIXAT) is out in @J_A_C_S! A directing group enables Ni to selectively generate Ar• from ArBr in presence of much weaker Ar–I bonds. A 1,n-HAT follows, enabling remote arylation of amines
