On Monday we held our annual paper of the year group meeting, and the group has selected the Macmillan group's alcohol-alcohol cross coupling enabled by SH2 radical sorting as our favorite paper of 2024! (doi.org/10.1126/science.adl5890)
Alcohol-alcohol cross-coupling enabled by SH2 radical sorting
Combining nickel and photoredox catalysis with carbene activation can form carbon-carbon bonds between two alcohols.

Really excited to see this amazing work out in ChemRxiv from our #ChemCollab between the @uwyoongroup.bsky.social @tehshik.bsky.social and #PfizerChemistry Photochem-mediated oxygen migration into sp3 bonds delivering small ring ethers as well as an OH - methylene transposition #ChemSky 1/
Friends, I'm pleased to draw your attention to two new preprints today describing complementary heteroatom insertion reactions into saturated carbocycles, one from our group and another from the Knowles laboratory. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr... chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...
We're thrilled to welcome new first years Jenna Krussman and Maia Carvalho to the group!
Exo-to-endo nitrogen transposition in saturated rings Authors: Danny Thach, Robert Knowles DOI: 10.26434/chemrxiv-2025-nlj7m
Up today on the Rxiv! Cade, Caitlin, Matt, Felix, Desiree, and Scott utilize photochemical oxidation for oxygen migration into C–C single bonds chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...
Oxygen Migration into Carbon–Carbon Single Bonds by Photochemical Oxidation
The editing of organic molecules through single-atom modifications is an enabling capability for medicinal chemistry. While several examples of single-atom insertions into the carbon–carbon double bon...

Oxygen Migration into Carbon–Carbon Single Bonds by Photochemical Oxidation Authors: Cade MacAllister, Caitlin Lacker, Matthieu Maciejewski, Felix Wessels, Desiree Bates, Scott Bagley, Tehshik Yoon DOI: 10.26434/chemrxiv-2025-ssx6g
My group would like you to know we're doing new lab photos.
lab social media admin just remembered that we have a bluesky... we will be updating from here on new papers and happenings in the lab going forward!
We're thrilled to welcome new first year students Omar Solis, Taylor Stephens, and Zoe Qian to the Yoon Group!
Check out our latest preprint, now up on the Rxiv! We've developed a highly enantioselective 6π photoelectrocyclization enabled by hydrogen-bonding between a chiral Ir photocatalyst and substrate. Link below: 👇 chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...
Highly Enantioselective 6π Photoelectrocyclizations Engineered by Hydrogen-Bonding
Excited-state photoreactions play a pivotal role in organic chemistry. Electrocyclization reactions, in particular, are valued both for their ability to produce structurally complex molecules and thei...

hello! We're on bsky now. Follow for updates on the happenings in the Yoon lab at UW–Madison!
Howdy! Please follow my group @uwyoongroup.bsky.social, which I've been dragging around from platform to platform so we can abandon The Bad Place.
