Kudos to the kids in AMS for realizing this beautiful work! Great example of collaboration and teamwork among different groups. And I believe this was the last shadow of me in the @NoelGroupUvA ๐ญ๐ญ #sweetmemories #collaboration #paper
Our latest work is now accepted at @angew_chem! We report a Ni/photoredox-catalyzed methylation of (hetero)aryl bromides using air-stable DABAl-Meโ, enabling scalable and practical access to methylated arenes. ๐ https://t.co/FOE7DjzzGz

๐จ Our first steps in #mechanochemistry in @ChemSusChem๐จ We milled elemental copper under aerobic conditions to trigger Cu(I) catalysis for the homocoupling of propargyl esters to give conjugated #allenynes. Fun to go back thinking in 2 electrons terms ๐ค #publication
In a copper of hours! If you are interested in using metallic copper for CโC bond formation, check out our new mechanochemical method for synthesizing 1,4-allenynes using copper(0)! Full article at the link:

Ni/photoredox-catalyzed methylation of (hetero)aryl bromides using air-stable DABAl-Meโ โ also flow-compatible and scalable. Mechanistic studies reveal an unprecedented generation of a methyl radical from an organoaluminum compound. Now @ChemRxiv: https://t.co/1RXJndlENJ
