Leveraging the unique properties of light and electricity 💡⚡️ in synthetic methodology at UW-Madison Student-run account; opinions are our own
Joined March 2020
Finally, the mystery is solved 🕵️ We now know why allylic functionalization of alkenes via thianthrenation is Z-selective! In collaboration with the Gutierrez group, we uncovered a rare example of stereoselective deprotonation. Now at JACS!

The #WickensPOM for March is the Liu group’s aminative Suzuki-Miyaura reaction involving a formal nitrene insertion. We’re excited to see how this inspires other transition metal chemistry and for future work from the Liu group!
