Our invited article on Ring-Opening Halogenation of Pyrazolopyridines and Isoxazoles is now out at ChemEurJ: Chemistry - A European Journal ! Big congrats to Hugo !! doi.org/10.1002/chem.2…

Our Special Issue Paper on Zirconocene/Photoredox-catalyzed C–O bond cleavage of benzyl ethers is out in Tetrahedron Letters ! Congratulations to Song Lin on the Tetrahedron Young Investigator Award 2025 !! Well done Kazuhiro, Ryota, and Eisuke !! doi.org/10.1016/j.tetl…

Today in Science Magazine, we report a method to replace the C2 of pyridines with N, affording pyridazines. The change from electronically consonant (pyridine) to dissonant (pyridazine) opens retrosyntheses not typically available to the latter. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I gave a talk at Harvard University and had dinner with Richard, Ted, and Eric. Thank you, Richard, for hosting me!

I gave a back-to-back talk with Tom at Brandeis University! Thank you, Hao, for the kind invitation! And thank you, Chi, for giving me a ride from GRC!

So glad you made it back safely, Jun san. Thanks so much for the Harvard and GRC T-shirts!!! 潤さん、アメリカ講演お疲れ様です！ハーバード&GRC Tシャツありがとうございます！ たくさん着て実験します！！

Yesterday we had an amazing time with Prof. Alastair Lennox from University of Bristol! Bristol Chemistry Thanks Ali-san for a wonderful lecture, fruitful discussion, and drinking party! I’ll cherish the autograph!! Hope to see you again soon!
