It's #BlackinOrganic day in #BlackinChem week! Here's a couple of fabulous Science Magazine papers to have another look back at. First up is Sarpong Group slicing through C-C bonds! science.sciencemag.org/content/361/63…

Radicals under Control by Co(II)-Based Metalloradical Catalyst: Enantioselective Intermolecular C-H Amination of Carboxylic Acid Esters with Organic Azides to Synthesize Chiral Amino Acid Derivatives J. Am. Chem. Soc. doi.org/10.1021/jacs.0…

Harnessing of Radical Racemization with Co(II)-Based Metalloradical Catalysis: Enantioconvergent Amination of Racemic Tertiary C-H Bonds for Enantioselective Synthesis of Chiral alpha-Tertiary Amines J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Congratulations to Postdoctoral Researchers Xinqiang Ding, Samantha Kristufek, Alexander Schuppe, and Yong Wang, who have received 2021 Infinite Expansion Awards from MIT Science. chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-news…

Today's Merck Women of the Day is Dr. Xin Wen. Xin started her career in our Boston DPC group and recently transferred to our DPC group in SSF. Do you see a pattern? You get to drive your career. We are here to support you and your family. #WomenofMerckPC #WeAreMerckChemistry

Check out our mini-review! pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.102… Carolyn and Hayden present a parallel analysis of enzymatic and synthetic radical reactions, revealing strategies employed by both microbes and chemists to achieve the selective transformation of sugar building blocks.

Our new C–H borylation of azines has just been published in nature. We use boryl radicals and achieve orthogonal selectivity to the one of Ir/Rh-based approaches! nature.com/articles/s4158…

My first industrial paper came out in ACS Med Chem Lett, ever wonder what Janus face Cy is, dig into this paper 😊 lnkd.in/grEfE7Qx, where we presented the impact of the Janus face Cy motif on both physicochemical and metabolic properties. crwfrd

Brandon Tsay, the operator of a dance hall in California, is being praised as a hero after he disarmed the shooter who killed 10 people in Monterey Park, saving countless lives and averting another tragedy. nyti.ms/3iXOfga

Kudos Alison!

Our group website is online! paiotilab.com Please contact me if interested in developing innovative catalytic methods and strategies for synthesis of drug-like molecules. Please RT

The world lost a great scientist, mentor, and friend today with the passing of Jeffery Byers. I will always remember his support of me and the rest of the Byers Lab. He was never too busy to explain a difficult concept or just chat about struggles. He will be greatly missed.

Congratulations to Vignesh on his publication of a strain-inducing approach to cyclobutenes published in J. Am. Chem. Soc. today: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Congrats Filo! What a great start 👍
