    • Bimetallic Palladium Catalysis: Direct Observation of Pd(III)–Pd(III) Intermediates 

      Powers, David C.; Geibel, Matthias A. L.; Klein, Johannes E. M. N.; Ritter, Tobias (American Chemical Society, 2009)
      \(PhI(OAc)_2\) is a common oxidant for Pd-catalyzed C−H bond functionalizations. Mechanistic hypotheses since the 1960s have suggested a Pd(II)/Pd(IV) mechanism. Here we present evidence for the relevance of bimetallic ...
    • A Biocompatible Alkene Hydrogenation Merges Organic Synthesis with Microbial Metabolism 

      Sirasani, Gopal; Tong, Liuchuan; Balskus, Emily Patricia (Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)
      Organic chemists and metabolic engineers use largely orthogonal technologies to construct essential small molecules like pharmaceuticals and commodity chemicals. While chemists have leveraged the unique capabilities of ...
    • Iron-Catalyzed 1,4-Hydroboration of 1,3-Dienes 

      Wu, Jessica Y.; Moreau, Benoît; Ritter, Tobias (American Chemical Society, 2009)
      A chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective iron-catalyzed 1,4-hydroboration of dienes that affords γ-disubstituted allylboranes has been developed. 1,4-Hydroboration of 2-substituted dienes forms allylborane products with ...
