🎵I've made my schemes
Line after line
Written my sentence
Experimentals so fine
NMR tables
I've made a few
I've had my share of plans scooped in my face
But I've come through (and I mean to go on, and on, and on, and on)
🎼
We write the patents, my friends
And we'll keep on writing 'til the end🎵

📄 We report a radical disconnection strategy that enables the direct, single-step conversion of α-amino acids into differentiated vicinal diamines via photocatalytic decarboxylation.
Broad scope, functional-group tolerant, and scalable in flow.

Alone in lab (this is why you don’t work alone) as a summer worker in a coatings factory.
Dropped (and broke) a 2L bottle of Freon-122
Grabbed towels to try and wipe up.
Freon vapor is heavier than air.
Realized this when I stood up and the room spun
Got out ASAP and let the hoods do their job

N-N coupling through Fe-catalyzed N-H dehydrocoupling! Check out our latest V2 on chemrxiv where we show you can catalyze PCET reactions using mild reagents below the thermodynamic limit of initial H• abstraction, make hard-to-access 2H-indazoles, and even skeletal edit! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

As 2025 comes to an end, here are some of my favorite astrophotos that I was able to capture. These are from January:
Moon occultation of Mars
M81 and M82 from Ursa Major
Some star trails

A couple of comets made appearances in October. I could capture only Comet Lemon. Its tail kept changing very quickly and can be seen in these two photos taken over 2 days.

Just in time for the new year - we show that you can make either isomer of N-aryl pyrazole selectively from a single TDSO. We really believe in the power of these wacky heterocycles.

Paper out today with a transformation a colleague published >10y ago…it is referenced but the new paper has the EXACT same reagents etc - the only diff is a change in solvent and smaller scope.
Just poor referee/editor work
The same reaction (but missing a key mechanism step)
