Alkyl–Alkyl Cross-Coupling Highlighted in Synfacts

Posted on May 14, 2019 by mpwatson

Shane, Corey, and Samantha’s alkyl–alkyl cross-coupling of alkyl pyridinium salts was highlighted in Synfacts. Thank you to Prof. Paul Knochel and Ferdinand H. Lutter for describing our work!

Research Overview

Our research focuses on the discovery of new methods for organic synthesis. We develop non-traditional electrophiles for transition metal-catalyzed reactions with an eye towards enantioselectivity, stereospecificity, and new feedstocks for cross-couplings. Our goal is greater efficiency and novel bond constructions in the synthesis of valuable molecules.
