We just got some great news. Our manuscript describing the addition of indoles to nitrones was just accepted at The Journal of Organic Chemistry! You can find the work of Zach Oracheff ’19, Helen Xia ’24, Chris Poff ’17, and Scott Isaacson ’21 at this link. Chris pioneered this reaction way back in the summer of 2015 when he discovered that we could get 1:1 adducts of indoles and nitrones through our TMSOTf chemistry, a results virtually unprecedented in the literature. Zach, Helen, and Scott did huge expansions of the reaction scope and studied the reactivity of the system. Congratulations to them all!
