- Check out our recent work on aliphatic C-to-N atom swap enabled by NAHA chemistry! This strategy enables access to diverse saturated N-heterocycles from cyclic ketones or cyclic alkanes. See: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...
- By merging this method with carbonyl migration and established C–H oxidation chemistry, we are now able to apply nitrogen scanning in saturated systems!
- This weekend, we had a wonderful Christmas & New Year party with our group! Many thanks to Guangbin for hosting and bringing everyone together. Wishing the Dong group a joyful holiday season and a great year ahead!
- Thrilled to see our recent Nature Chemistry work featured in @cenmag.bsky.social ! Big thanks to @bribarbu.bsky.social for the great coverage!
- Check out our latest work in Nat. Chem. @natchem.nature.com ! We developed a platform using 1,2-oxaborines to construct a broad range of aromatic and non-aromatic cores from common enone/enal precursors. Congratulations to Yao and the team! Read here: rdcu.be/eJ90T
- Developed by Liyan and Rui, we expand our cut-and-sew chemistry to β-lactams, enabling access to diverse bridged & fused N-heterocycles. Now online in @jacs.acspublications.org ! Congratulations to the team! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....
- Check out our recent Nature Catalysis@natcatal.nature.com work on ruthenium-catalysed site-selective arene saturation—turning flat arenes into 3D sp³ frameworks! 👏Congrats to Congjun@congjun.bsky.social and the team! Read here: rdcu.be/eCQQB
- Our latest achievement is now online in Tetrahedron Letters, published as part of a special issue honoring Prof. Song Lin @songlin1.bsky.social for receiving the Tetrahedron Young Investigator Award. sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Congratulations to Xin and all co-authors!
- Last weekend, we had a wonderful farewell party for Congjun and Miao at Guangbin's house. Congjun will join UC Boulder as a tenure-track Assistant Professor, and Miao will be starting at Merck as a Senior Scientist. Wishing them both the best of luck!
- Proud to add one more reagent to EROS! In this article, we summarized the synthesis and application of the N-methylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene-2-carboxamide, a co-catalyst in the palladium/norbornene cooperative catalysis. Congrats to Dr. Shinyoung Choi! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
- 🔥 Scalable achievement in enantioselective homologation. 🔥 Our work on "Enantioconvergent carbenoid insertion into carbon−boron bonds" is now online on Nature Synthesis rdcu.be/etopg 🎉Congratulations to Qiqiang! 🙏Thanks to our collaborator Liu group
- 🚀New advance toward asymmetric α‑Alkylation of Aldehydes. ✨Lead by Kezhi, we report a branched-selective α-alkylation of aldehydes with unactivated olefins — enabled by a pyrazole mediator and a chiral Ir catalyst. Congrats! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....
- 🚨Just out in Nature! We have offered a general method for 1,2-difunctionlization of arenes via a differential 1,2-diborylation! rdcu.be/esXq8 www.nature.com/articles/s41... Congratulations to Jingfeng!
- How do you turn a carbonyl into sulfur? In this work, Zining from our lab developed a carbonyl-to-sulfur swap enabled by a rationally designed N′-alkyl-hydrazonamide (NAHA) reagent that promotes double C-C bond activation. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
