Last week, Sohee successfully defended her PhD—congratulations! From the total synthesis of harziane diterpenoids in Snyder group to exploring NAHA chemistry with us over the past two years, what an impressive scientific journey. Wishing her all the best in her next chapter!

Check out our recent work on @angew_chem ! We developed a transition-metal-free “cut-and-sew” reaction that formally inserts five-membered heteroarynes into benzocyclobutenones, providing rapid access to fused heteropolycycles. Congrats to Cole!

Check out our new preprint on @ChemRxiv with @pengliu_group! We developed an Ir-catalyzed, redox-neutral decarboxylative aromatization of carboxylated cyclohexanes. The carboxylic acid serves as a traceless anchor that enables good chemoselectivity.

Check out our recent work on unstrained C–C activation!
We report a site-selective C-demethylation of phenols and anilines enabled by a removable mono-directing group.
Congrats to Yibin, @KaliusLY , Linda, and @CongjunY !

Congrats to Zining, Zhehan and Rong! Excited about the sp3 N scanning! Look forward to seeing its potential for analogue synthesis and lead optimization!
Check out our recent work on aliphatic C-to-N atom swap enabled by NAHA chemistry! This strategy enables access to diverse saturated N-heterocycles from cyclic ketones or cyclic alkanes. See: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv…

Check out our latest work in @NatureChemistry !
We developed a platform using 1,2-oxaborines to construct a broad range of aromatic and non-aromatic cores from common enone/enal precursors.
Congratulations to Yao and the team!

We were honored to host Prof. Guangbin Dong @GBD_Lab @GuangbinDong for a lecture at Waseda yesterday!
Thank you for the wonderful chemistry, lively Q&A, and drinking in the lab–"nijikai"!!
We also celebrated his 2025 Mukaiyama Award ! (the plate had a restaurant typo)

#AmBeedNewsletter Recently, the @GuangbinDong Group at @UChicago unveiled a groundbreaking strategy for directed arene hydrogenation.
For the first time, site-selective saturation of unactivated arenes has been achieved using Ru catalysis, controlled by a directing group. The reaction delivers exceptional precision:
✅ Tolerates 20+ sensitive functional groups (alkenes, aryl bromides, etc.)
✅ >20:1 exclusive cis-selectivity
✅ Gram-scale yields up to 85%
