Farewell, Dr. Brett Akana-Schneider!
With yet another farewell Hot Pot festivity, we say goodbye to another amazing postdoctoral scholar, Dr. Brett Akana-Schneider. We will miss the engaging group meeting discussions and brainstorming sessions, but are excited to hear about all of the future successes that will come your way! Brett pioneered the lab's approach toward redox neutral electrocatalysis, specifically through the development of a unique uphill redox chain that enables highly efficient C–N bond azolatio

Perspective on Recent Developments in Shono-type Functionalization Published in ACS Electrochemistry
Nearly 50 years after Prof. Tatsuya Shono's seminal report on anodic oxidation of aliphatic amines in methanol solvent to generate hemiaminals, we are honored to highlight recent strategies in the last 10 years that serve to innovate Shono-type methodology to new heights. From carefully tailored reaction conditions to redox mediators and controlling potentials, we are excited to witness the continued evolution of Shono-type strategies toward late-stage functionalization campa
