Merck's got LRRK2
This one's got a very cool copper catalyzed photoreaction in it:

UCBs got some LEDs
This one is garden variety, but I like it.

Mes Acr Me
Neeto - Merck using a Merck photoreactor. 'magine that.

Slick decarboxylation there Merck
This is another one from Merck. Those guys love them some Blue Light.

How Bad is it?
Oh it's so bad, it's DBAD ! This one has two very different photoreactions. The first is a bit of a rarity: A cerium catalyzed...

Somebody make it enantioselective plz?
Today this one published from Merck. We know those guys love their blue light photoredox. Could one of you super smart types out there...

Another decarboxylative 1,4
Nope not selective, and not very high yielding but they get it! It's described here, but first published here. This 1,4 had to be one...

Sensing a pattern here?
Another decarboxylative cross coupling seen here. BMS were early adopters.

if only it were chiral...
Damn the free radicals, full speed ahead! This one is another fine example.

Decarboxylation with kick
This one maybe inspired by this paper, but what's with the 2-phenylethynylcopper?

Another decarboxylation
This one looks a lot like that one. Love the functional group tolerance.

Look at that
Looks like some Nucleosides met up with a blue light. Good one BMS! I assume they separated the epimer.

Another one seen in the wild
Here's another one with the Penn reactor: WO/2022/087634. This time 100 mg scale in 3 mL DMA! I bet you could run it more concentrated,...
