Congrats to Zi and team on the publication of our study on a redox mediator strategy to electroreductively harness Fe(I) in alkyne semi-hydrogenation! This work is now published in @ACSCatalysis - stay tuned for more from #TeamFe. #chemtwitter #newPI

The development of electroreductive Fe-catalyzed processes for organic synthesis has remained scarce compared to other earth-abundant metals despite inherent advantages such as cost, low-toxicity,...

Congrats to Brett and Jillian on this incredibly powerful e-SNAr strategy! Synthetically enabling, extremely robust, and highly energy-efficient with as low as 20 mW of power at 50 mmol scale with a proposed uphill ET-promoted redox chain mechanism. Dump, stir, ⚡️ #chemtwitter
SNAr powers the engine of drug discovery and production, but electronic demands restrict access to important chemical space. We describe an e-SNAr strategy to bridge this gap that operates under air at RT with catalytic charge, simplifying scalability. https://t.co/Sk8uDTyN7x

Harnessing reduced Fe in electrocatalysis faces many challenges with respect over-reduction and catalyst instability. In this preprint, we describe a redox mediator strategy to tame a (P3P)Fe(I) species for semi-hydrogenation of alkynes as a model study: https://t.co/DPw0qpcxr2

SAXITOXIN simplified: Appearing today in @ChemRxiv is a short, highly scalable, convergent approach to this entire natural product family using a tactical combination of radical retrosynthesis, biocatalysis (in collaboration with Merck), and C–H functionalization logic:

With the Gutierrez group @UCLA , we report a unique mode of electrocatalytic semi-hydrogenation to generate Z-alkenes using a redox mediator strategy. Distortion analyses by DFT reveal a distinct origin of stereoselectivity. Exciting times ahead! https://t.co/P5P2BVeKUP

Grateful for the highlight of @derosalab first paper on a voltage-controlled strategy in this edition of @OPRD_ACS Items of Interest - surreal to be featured in the same article as @EngleLab ! Check out these amazing methods: https://t.co/r08ie8m9zq

Hydride abstraction represents a promising yet underexplored approach in the functionalization of C–H bonds. In this work, we report the oxidation of α-C–H bonds of ethers via oxoammonium catalysis...
No hydridic C–H bond is safe! Back to back in @ChemRxiv today, we report oxoammonium catalyzed oxidation of N-substituted amines and ethers! Featuring high TON, 100 g scale-up, a novel NMR experiment for radical quantification, & QSPR! (1/3)
