Congratulations to Dr. Erin Hanada, Sylvia Lou, and Patrick McShea for differentiating microenvironments of oxidative addition intermediates in zinc, now in Chem. Eur. J.!
Thanks to PicoQuant for a microscope that makes these findings possible!
Metal Activation Produces Different Reaction Environments for Intermediates during Oxidative Addition Commercial zinc metal powder requires activation for consistent and reliable use as a reductant in the formation of organozinc reagents from organohalides, and for the avoidance of supplier and batch...

Congratulations to Martin Stang and R. J. Mycka for harnessing Lewis acid selectivity and reversible haloboration for boron-based cyclization reactions, now published in JOC!
Mechanistic Insight from Lewis-Acid-Dependent Selectivity and Reversible Haloboration, as Harnessed for Boron-Based Electrophilic Cyclization Reactions Different reaction selectivity occurs with the Lewis acids B-chlorocatecholborane (ClBcat), B-bromocatecholborane (BrBcat), and BBr3, favoring either alkyne haloboration, electrophilic cyclization of a tethered nucleophilic sulfur onto the alkyne, or group transfer of the nucleophile. This reaction....
Congratulations to Joe Kaplan for receiving the departmental Dissertation Fellowship and to Hannah Peacock and Pía López for receiving the Allergan Graduate Research Fellowship!

Congratulations to Dr. Erin Hanada and Patrick McShea for the publication of their work on the activating role of TMSCl in Angewandte!
Trimethylsilyl Chloride Aids in Solubilization of Oxidative Addition Intermediates from Zinc Metal Trimethylsilyl chloride (TMSCl) is commonly used to “activate” metal(0) powders toward oxidative addition of organohalides, but knowledge of its mechanism remains limited by the inability to characte...
Congratulations to Joe Kaplan for publication of his research on group transfer of substituted alkenes in JOC!
