10/03/2026- Congrats to Mina, Alyah and Jennfer on publication of their Organic Syntheses on Photochemical Deoxygenation using Formate Salts!
07/23/2026- Congrats to Adrian and John on developing a Formal Markovnikov Hydroazolation of Alkenes via Reductive Activation of Alkylthianthrenium Salts!
Herein, we introduce a new synthetic protocol for azole alkylation. Our strategy first engages azoles using alkenylthianthrenium electrophiles to provide 1,2-azolothianthrenium salts, then selectively excises the sulfonium moiety via single electron transfer (SET). Given that …
07/15/2026- Congrats to Joe, Arindam, Niket, Matt and Alissia for their report of selectivity arising from indiscriminate photoreduction!
Single electron transfer (SET) reduction is amongst the most fundamental strategies for the activation of organic compounds. The design of selective reactions that leverage SET is grounded by the premise that differences in substrate redox …
