The first paper from the Murphy lab is accepted:
Phyllis and Jason combined efforts to demonstrate for the first time that monocarbonyl iodonium ylides are effective as metallocarbene precursors. The key was to trick a phosphorus ylide into undergoing carbene transfer (which they typically don't do), and then trap the resulting iodonium ylide with a metal catalyst. Congratulations Phyllis and Jason!
