Our article on nickel-catalyzed cross-couplings via C–N bond activation is featured in the JACS Young Investigators Virtual Issue! Congratulations to the team, Corey Basch, Jennie Liao, Jianyu Xu, and Jake Piane! Read more on UDaily.

Congratulations to Earl Bampo, Winnie Cheung, Jingchen Yang, and Alana Duke (not pictured) on a great summer of research! Earl, Winnie, and Jingchen did a great job of presenting their work at the 8th Annual Undergraduate Research and Service Celebratory Symposium!

Congratulations to Kelsey Cobb, Javon Rabb-Lynch, Megan Hoerrner, Alex Manders, and Qi Zhou on their recent development of a stereospecific Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling of allylic pivalates to set all-carbon quaternary stereocenters (http://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acs.orglett.7b02063)! This reaction is enabled by a simple nickel/BISBI catalyst system, and enables efficient formation of allylic products with internal alkenes.
