Thank you for all on your hard work on the hydrazone project, and congratulations!
The Eur. J. Org. Chem. paper is published in the Early View section online. Congrats to Jason and Phyllis for your work on the monocarbonyl iodonium ylide problem.
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!
