Congratulations to Xiaoxia for the publication of her work in JACS.

Congratulations to Xiaoxia Wang on the publication of her research on Pd-catalyzed ortho-alkylation of iodoarenes in JACS. By integrating Pd-cycloolefin ligand cooperative catalysis with bulky phosphine-promoted C(sp²)-I reductive elimination at the palladium center, Xiaoxia successfully achieved a Catellani-type reaction with C-I bond reformation serving as the termination step. She really did a great work on both organometallic chemistry and synthetic chemistry. Please read her work here.
