🔥 An approach for light-driven, Ni-catalyzed C-heteroatom couplings that:

-Couples tough nucleophiles (yes, 3° alcohols!)
-Couples electron-rich aryl bromides
-Doesn't need a PC
-Runs on 100 ppm Ni
-Delivers on drug syntheses and late-stage modifications

Now on @chemrxiv.org: tinyurl.com/3ss6x24j

Aaron and I have decided to do it: #FloHet2026 is a go and we can't wait for the amazing organic chemistry to be shared! More announcements coming soon. Here is our new website. Please share it with the ochem lovers in your life. flohet.org

great to see this out! put some carbazoles on your ligands often helps ;)

No matter how hard you try, you simply cannot guess the journal withe the highest “impact factor” in organic chemistry last year. Really. Nor will you guess many of the other “winners”:

🎓 A huge congratulations to Lucia Anghileri on successfully defending her PhD! 👏🥂

Wishing you all the best for whatever comes next, Lucia. We’re so proud of you—and can’t wait to see where your next chapter takes you! 💫

📣 The ligand makes the difference!

Check out our 🆕 photoactive nickel catalyst that makes C-C and C-heteroatom bonds without an exogeneous photocatalyst. This was a mechanistically fascinating study that came out today @jacs.acspublications.org
