Unlocking Catalyst Activation as a Critical Bottleneck in Cross‐Coupling Reactions: Room‐Temperature Couplings of Weak Nucleophiles Enabled by [Pd(1‐MeNAP)TFA]2 Precatalysts

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
In many Pd‐catalyzed cross‐couplings, catalyst performance has been found to be limited by catalyst activation. Methylnaphthyl (MeNAP) palladium trifluoroacetate dimers are presented as easy‐to‐store and easy‐to‐handle precursors, which rapidly activate under reaction conditions, even when only weakly coordinating, non‐reducing nucleophiles are present.

Sulfur‐Directed Construction of Vinyl Cyclopropanes from 1,3‐Dienes

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Sulfur takes control. A pending thioether acts as a molecular compass, directing carbene addition to the 1,3‐diene scaffold with exceptional regio‑ and diastereocontrol to forge sulfur‐substituted vinyl cyclopropanes (S‐VCPs) — molecular architectures inaccessible via conventional cyclopropanation strategies.

Geminal Difunctionalization of Ketones via C─S Bond Insertion of Photogenerated Donor–Donor Diazo Compounds

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Geminal difunctionalization of readily available building blocks provides rapid access to molecular complexity. This work introduces a strategy for installing two distinct functional groups on a carbonyl carbon by transforming it into a donor–donor diazo compound, enabling both batch and flow applications with broad solvent compatibility.

Asymmetric α‐Alkylation With Activated and Unactivated Electrophiles by a Highly Productive and Recyclable Lewis Acid/Imidazolium Catalyst

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
An air‐stable, easily prepared, bifunctional Cu(II)/imidazolium complex enables highly enantioselective α‐alkylation of 1,3‐dicarbonyls with outstanding productivity (TON up to 1740). Highlights include broad electrophile scope spanning π‐activated and nonactivated reagents, stereo‐retentive allylation, simple catalyst synthesis, and efficient catalyst

Shedding Light on Synthetic Autocatalysis: From Conventional Closed‐Shell Chemistries to Overlooked Open‐Shell Occurrences

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Why add another catalyst when the product itself holds the power to catalyze its own formation? Autocatalysis in synthetic chemistry enhances reaction efficiency and uncovers novel catalytic behavior across both closed‐shell and open‐shell systems, expanding reactivity and enabling innovative design strategies.

Teaching the Basics of Reactive Oxygen Species and their Relevance to Cancer Biology: Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species Detection, Redox Signaling, and Targeted Therapies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in tumorigenesis (tumor initiation, tumor progression, and metastasis). Of the many cellular sources of ROS generation, the mitochondria and the NADPH oxidase family of enzymes are possibly the most ...

Synthesis of Dithienylcycloalkene Molecular Switches Enabled by a Bench‐Stable Ti‐Complex

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Herein we report a set of cycloalkene‐bridged DTEs with ring sizes ranging from 4‐ to 7‐membered rings. The synthesis of these analogs was performed via a key McMurry coupling step, which was enabled by a practical, bench‐stable Ti(IV)‐complex. Remarkably, it is shown that the strained cyclobutene bridge outperforms other rings, even the most commonly ...
