Got some preliminary mouse data on some of Christina's compounds today - this is the first time @BlakeyLab has taken on a translational project - lots to learn. It's exciting! Thanks @EmoryBDCI for the seed funding (and to the Waller group for inviting us to collaborate).

Check your [ASAPs], ASAP! Congrats to @KellyMcDaniel72 , Anna Blood, and @GavinCJSmith on this awesome paper. They developed a mild method for the dearomatization of unactivated arenes to give spirocyclic butyrolactams. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Dearomatization of Unactivated Arenes via Catalytic Hydroalkylation

Abstract. The dearomative cyclization of linear amides to complex spirocyclic butyrolactams has been enabled by photoredox catalysis through a reductive ra
