Journal ArticleDOI

(BDP)CuH: a "hot" Stryker's reagent for use in achiral conjugate reductions.

TL;DR: A ligand-modified, economical version of Stryker's reagent (SR) has been developed based on a bidentate, achiral bis-phosphine that smoothly effects conjugate reductions of a variety of unsaturated substrates, including those that are normally unreactive toward SR.
Journal ArticleDOI

CuH-Catalyzed Enantioselective 1,2-Reductions of α,β-Unsaturated Ketones

TL;DR: The first study on a general technology for arriving at valued nonracemic allylic alcohols using asymmetric ligand-accelerated catalysis by copper hydride is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery of small-molecule enhancers of reactive oxygen species that are nontoxic or cause genotype-selective cell death.

TL;DR: It is suggested that cancer cell lines are more resilient to chemically induced increases in ROS levels than previously thought and highlight electrophilicity as a property that may be more closely associated with cancer-selective cell death than ROS elevation.
