Mike Strauss

Thrilled to announce that I will be starting my independent career at @ChemistryUIUC this fall. The Strauss Group (@SRG_Chem) will work at the interface of synthetic methods development and polymer science to uncover new strategies in polymer design and functionalization.

Happy Holidays from the Strauss Research Group! We just welcomed our inaugural class of graduate students into the lab. Could not be more excited to watch these five talented scientists grow throughout their PhDs and make truly transformative discoveries!

Now published @J_A_C_S: We developed improved conditions for Cu-catalyzed C–N coupling that exhibit substantially improved functional group tolerance and enhanced catalyst stability. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Along with @MeganGreaves7, @seoungtae_kim, and our friends at @bmsnews, we developed a Cu-catalyzed C–O coupling protocol using our newly developed ligand family that features a new ligand, mild reaction conditions, and interesting mechanistic insights.

Excited to see all of the fantastic chemistry coming out of the Dong Group at Colorado State! Congrats Yuyang!
