Dingyi Wang,Xiangyang Chen,Jonathan J. Wong,Liqun Jin,Mingjie Li,Yue Zhao,K. N. Houk,Zhuangzhi Shi +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a general strategy for the regioselective C7-H silylation of indole derivatives is presented, which is determined by strong coordination of the palladium catalyst with phosphorus (III) directing group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical Studies on NG-Hydroxy-l-arginine and Derived Radicals: Implications for the Mechanism of Nitric Oxide Synthase
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular editing of aza-arene C–H bonds by distance, geometry and chirality
Zhoulong Fan,Xiangyang Chen,Keita Tanaka,Han Seul Park,Nelson Y. S. Lam,Jonathan J. Wong,K. N. Houk,Jin-Quan Yu +7 more
TL;DR: A unified late-stage ‘molecular editing’ strategy to directly modify bicyclic aza-arenes at any given site in different orders is established in combination with previously reported complementary methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of geminal disubstitution on efficiencies of 4-exo-trig radical cyclizations
TL;DR: In this paper, the competition between tributyltin hydride-induced cyclization and reduction of a series of 6-bromo-2-hexenoates was explored computationally.
