Palladium-Catalyzed Transfer Iodination from Aryl Iodides to Nonactivated C(sp3)–H Bonds
We report a new strategy for the catalytic iodination of nonactivated C(sp3)–H bonds. The method merges the concepts of shuttle and light-enabled palladium catalysis to employ aryl iodides as both hyd...

I watched Sven lead this work experimentally and computationally and was very impressed - very rare for someone to be so adept at both. Great to see his hard work pay off.
