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!

🚀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!

Carbonyl-to-sulfur swap enabled by sequential double carbon-carbon bond activation
In drug development, replacement of a skeletal carbon with a sulfur atom can result in analogs of bioactive compounds with improved properties. Currently, the sulfur analogs are almost exclusively pre...

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.
