Our first publication of the year is out in The Journal of Organic Chemistry! We report the Ni-catalyzed reductive arylation of redox-active esters for the synthesis of alpha-aryl nitriles, including investigations of a key chlorosilane additive. This project kick started the NHP explorations within our group and laid the groundwork for our mechanistic understanding of this chemistry. Congratulations to Nick & Alex!
