Asymmetric Paternò–Büchi Reaction

Jesse, Tahoe, Wes, and Yerin have a terrific new paper in JACS today about the long road to an asymmetric catalytic Paternò–Büchi reaction. A great collaboration with Kent and the Wright lab at UW.

Solid-state synthesis of the truxillates

In JACS today, Ellie, Hyung Joo, and Matt report a general approach to the truillate family of natural products enabled by solid state photochemistry. Synthetically, this paper complements the route to the truxinates we published last year and provides comprehensive control over the construction of the large class of dimeric cyclobutane natural products.
