Delighted that Jaspreet's Master Thesis work got published in Org. Lett. Check it out (open access!). Amide C-H arylation with electron-rich arenes can be achieved without the photocatalyst! Mechanistic studies imply an electron-donor-acceptor complex and further reactions taking place in confined space within a "solvent-cage". We are *excited* and curious for the opportunities that preassembly in photocatalysis may offer! SynCat Master student Ahmed Shahin contributed important control reactions and cyclic voltammetry experiments.
Well done to Jaspreet and Ahmed!
