Access to Arynes from Arenes via Formal Dehydrogenation: Increased Efficiency and Scope, Synthetic Applications and Mechanistic Analysis
Arynes undergo a wide range of diverse chemical transformations making them highly versatile reactive in-termediates for organic synthesis. Access to arynes has long been dominated by pre-functionaliz...

I'm happy to share this awesome project led by my lab mate Bryan! This was actually the very first project I worked on in grad school. This project had lots of twists and turns but now it's finally out in chemical science! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...
An efficient and chemoselective method to generate arynes
Arynes hold immense potential as reactive intermediates in organic synthesis as they engage in a diverse range of mechanistically distinct chemical reactions. However, the poor functional group compat...
