Switching on elusive organometallic mechanisms with photoredox catalysis (2015)
Journal Article
Terrett, J. A., Cuthbertson, J., Shurtleff, V. W., & MacMillan, D. W. (2015). Switching on elusive organometallic mechanisms with photoredox catalysis. Nature, 524(7565), 330-334. doi:10.1038/nature14875

Transition-metal-catalysed cross-coupling reactions have become one of the most used carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bond-forming reactions in chemical synthesis. Recently, nickel catalysis has been shown to participate in a wide variety of C−C b... Read More about Switching on elusive organometallic mechanisms with photoredox catalysis.

The direct arylation of allylic sp3 C–H bonds via organic and photoredox catalysis (2015)
Journal Article
Cuthbertson, J. D., & MacMillan, D. W. C. (2015). The direct arylation of allylic sp3 C–H bonds via organic and photoredox catalysis. Nature, 519(7541), 74-77. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature14255

The direct functionalization of unactivated sp3 C–H bonds is still one of the most challenging problems facing synthetic organic chemists. The appeal of such transformations derives from their capacity to facilitate the construction of complex organi...
