A paper published by Prof. Rubén Martín’s research group in JACS is among the most read articles in January 2017. Metal-catalyzed transformations that forge carbon–heteroatom bonds are of central importance in organic synthesis. Despite the formidable potential of aryl methyl ethers as coupling partners, the scarcity of metal-catalyzed C–heteroatom bond formations via C–OMe cleavage is […]

A Stereoconvergent Cyclopropanation Reaction of Styrenes A.M. del Hoyo, A.G. Herraiz, M.G. Suero Angew. Chem., Int. Ed., 2016, DOI: 10.1002/anie.201610924 The first stereoconvergent cyclopropanation reaction by means of photoredox catalysis using diiodomethane as the methylene source is described. This transformation exhibits broad functional group tolerance and it is characterized by an excellent stereocontrol en route to […]
