Oxidative Alkene Functionalizations

Nic and Grace have developed a protocol for intramolecular oxidative functionalization of sterically bulky alkenes with diverse heteronucleophiles as a way to show that photoredox catalysis can address long-standing limitations of transition metal catalyzed processes. See the ASAP in JACS!

Cyclobutaneboronate ester building blocks

Congratulations to Spencer, Jesse, Luca, Rowan, and Niecia! Their paper on the photosensitized synthesis of complex cyclobutane boronate esters is now online at Org Lett.
