  • Nitrogen migration into C–C bonds

    Our foray into skeletal editing continues! Mike, Matthieu, and Cade have discovered a one-step method for migrating nitrogen atoms directly into saturated carbocycles. This strategy leverages the previously underexplored β-scission reactivity of…

  • Meta Bioisosteres

    Cade and Omar report the results of a collaboration with GSK showing that adamantane dicarboxylates are accessible feedstock building blocks for the rapid assembly of novel bioisosteres for meta-disubstituted arenes. The report…

  • Privileged Chiral Photocatalysts

    Proud to present Riley’s design for a modular, synthetically flexible, and intuitively tunable chiral photocatalyst based on the canonical PyBox family of chiral Lewis acid catalysts. Thanks to Lea Hämmerling and Eli…
