Post-transition state bifurcation in Rh-catalyzed reaction Permalink

August 04, 2022

Talk, University of California, Los Angeles, California, US

Rh-catalyzed C-H insertion reactions to form β-lactones suffer from post-transition state bifurcations, with the same transition states leading to ketones and ketenes via fragmentation in addition to β-lactones.

Near-infrared fluorescent probe labels Aβ plaques through in vivo bioorthogonal reactions

December 17, 2017

Talk, 5th National Symposium for Chem Undergrad, Peking Univeristy, Beijing, China

Near-infrared fluorescent probes are increasingly being explored as markers for Amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques, playing a crucial role in the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease. In this study, we aim to engineer a probe that leverages bioorthogonal reactions, enabling the activation or deactivation of fluorescence through light modulation. 💡
