Happy to share our latest work out now in @NatureChemistry. We show the cross coupling of alkyl carboxylic acids and boronic acids. Congrats to Jessica, @ortho_maxb, and the team! @NUChemistry Link: nature.com/articles/s41557-0…

I’m excited to share our latest paper out now in @J_A_C_S. Mechanistic studies on alternating polarity AP electrolysis in generation of Ary/Alkyl radicals from organoboron (and carboxylic acids). We show that potential mapping (based on current and frequency) can predict & optimize radical generation and understand challenges (unwanted oxidation, passivation). Congrats to Jake and team #organoboron! lnkd.in/gwJxQVqa

We are happy to share our latest work now out in @NatureSynthesis. Via electrochemical oxidation of amine (DABCO) to N-radical dication, we show that selective aromatic C-H amination can be achieved, including previously challenging arenes.

Effect of Alternating Polarity in Electrochemical Olefin Hydrocarboxylation (Christian A. Malapit and co-workers) @CAMalapit @synthesisstel #openaccess 🔓 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Effect of Alternating Polarity in Electrochemical Olefin Hydrocarboxylation

Alternating polarity (AP) is a powerful tool for controlling selectivity in olefin hydrofunctionalization, but this use is underdeveloped. Using electrochemical olefin hydrocarboxylation as a model,...

We’re very excited to share our latest work on electrochemical coupling of olefins and CO2 in @angew_chem. Alternating polarity improves selectivity and tuned the mechanism unique to other electrochemical olefin functionalization reactions. Congratulations, Stella! ⚡️ @synthesisstel onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

With simple molecular tweaking, researchers have converted a common chemical waste product, triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO), into an electrolyte material suitable for use in batteries connected to the power grid. cen.acs.org/energy/energy-st… .

Finally, a radical–radical cross-coupling! After 180 years of generating C-radicals from carboxylic acids, we can now couple them with radicals from organoboron reagents. In our first @ChemRxiv we introduce redox matched electrolysis to discover a “carboxylic acid–organoboron coupling reaction” chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv…
