We are thrilled to share our latest discovery https://t.co/0j26phE26u ! Give this iron-catalyzed reaction a go if you need a benzylic or tertiary carbon–heteroatom bond! I can't wait to further apply it ourselves! Congrats to the team on filling some nice gaps in metal catalysis!

Check out our latest article in @J_A_C_S! We developed a new cascade reaction that combines alkylation, Heck carbopalladation, and C(sp3)–H annulation to generate cyclopropane or cyclobutane heterocycles. https://t.co/lhjkw1ytJA

It was great seeing @_Picazo today at UC San Diego. Great takeaways on Iron catalysis and DASA chemistry. I always leave feeling inspired by our conversations about organic chemistry. By the way, I have never seen a speaker get so jolly about post-presentation questions 🤣
