The first paper from my postdoc is now out. We demonstrate that a chiral nickel catalyst can effectively control central and axial chirality. Thankful to everyone in the @FuLabCaltech as well as Ruby from @thestoltzgroup. @Caltech @CaltechCCE @J_A_C_S pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Bringing your coworkers together to tell a story: Developing divergent ATRA reactions that fuse to a synergistic cyclopentanol anellation. Congrats Narender, QuanQing, and Tirtha, thx @DAAD_Germany, @crc_325, and @MSCActions for being a matchmaker. doi.org/10.1021/acscat…

Excited to share that I’ll be joining the University of Tennessee Knoxville as an assistant professor this fall! I’ll be looking for grad students and postdocs—if you’re into theoretical chemistry or materials science, feel free to reach out ([email protected])

Turning to the heteroleptic side: Tirtha and Mangsih identified a copper(I) complex for the photocatalyzed ß-chloroacylation broadly applicable to alkenes or alkynes, taking inspiration from @NgaiLab. Just out on ChemRvix doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

I am excited to share our latest discovery which is out now in @J_A_C_S! This study uncovers how engineered hemoproteins can leverage biological nitrogen cycle intermediates for enzymatic C–H amination, opening new paths towards sustainable synthesis. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

It does not always have to be halides: In this study, Youssef (congrats!) shows that nitrobenzylthiocyanates are competent ATRA reagents. #copper_rocks Copper Photocatalyzed Divergent Access to Organic Thio- and Isothiocyanates! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

It was such a great experience mentoring our visiting undergrad Lucien in the Fu lab. He has done a tremendous job and I am surely going to miss his presence in the lab. All the best, Lucien!

If I had a hammer...we blatantly destroy bicyclic cyclopropanes to access cyclohexenes with unusual substitution patterns. Great collaboration with the Davies group @EmoryUniversity. doi.org/10.1021/acs.or…, thank you @JOC_OL, for supporting our destructive approach.

A C-C-bond forming ATRA reactions with broad scope (activated, unactivated alkenes; which ones did we miss?) and useful applications for drug synthesis. EPR studies @RehbeinResearch reveal that copper makes the difference! Congrats to all! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

It doesn't happen very often, but when it does, it's beautiful!! ❄️

You need to have a good reason not to use copper-based photocatalyst in our group: Congrats to Anurag who shows direct C,H-activation of aldehydes by iron/organophotocatalysis, great collaboration with our partners in Chile. doi.org/10.1021/acscat…

Thx to all of you for your b-day wishes and a great weekend. Can‘t say I was looking forward to this one, but you all made it a great event for me.

It was a great pleasure for me to mentor Claudia in the Fu Lab. Today was her last day here at @Caltech as @Amgen scholar and she has done great in our lab for the past 10 weeks. All the best for your future endeavors! Here we are the Fu Lab chemists👩‍🔬 👨‍🔬 😄 @GiuseppeZucca14
