Iridium‐Catalyzed Reductive Deoxygenation of Esters for the Synthesis of Sterically Hindered Ethers A general method for accessing sterically hindered ethers via reductive deoxygenation of readily prepared ester starting materials is reported. Employing commercially available and bench-stable IrCl(...

Big day for the group as we share our first article in Nature - a facile approach to enantioenriched alkylidenecyclopropanes using BIMPS!

Huge congratulations to Jonny and Dong-Hang for their outstanding work, and to our computational collaborators!
