We are happy to present our newest publication in @ScienceMagazine about safer aryldiazonium chemistry!
Nitrate is reduced to generate aryldiazoniums as fleeting intermediates for the direct conversion of anilines and aminoheterocycles to arylhalides.

All dressed up for farewell to two highly impactful @ChirikGroup . postdocs - @connormacneil and @willwh_ We will miss your passion for science and excited to see your next steps.
Will Whitehurst retweeted
Today was @willwh_ and @connormacneil last day. We are so fortunate to have worked with these remarkable chemists who have produced some outstanding results . It was also visiting student Carlota’s final group meeting on C(sp2)-H borylation. We can’t wait to see all that you do!

Our latest Q&A features @ChirikGroup postdoc Connor MacNeil: “The training I received in Paul’s lab is directly translational: approach a problem with clarity, find a way in, try to develop the best chemistry possible.”
Enjoy his farewell column here: bit.ly/3FBxmQh
