On Monday we held our annual paper of the year group meeting, and the group has selected the Macmillan group's alcohol-alcohol cross coupling enabled by SH2 radical sorting as our favorite paper of 2024! (doi.org/10.1126/science.adl5890)
Alcohol-alcohol cross-coupling enabled by SH2 radical sorting
Combining nickel and photoredox catalysis with carbene activation can form carbon-carbon bonds between two alcohols.

Highly Enantioselective 6π Photoelectrocyclizations Engineered by Hydrogen-Bonding
Excited-state photoreactions play a pivotal role in organic chemistry. Electrocyclization reactions, in particular, are valued both for their ability to produce structurally complex molecules and thei...
