Pitre Lab undergraduate researcher, Kaitlin Ashcraft, was recently highlighted by OSU News as this month's Senior Spotlight. The article highlights some of the research Kaitlin has accomplished throughout her time in the Pitre Lab, and how those experiences have prepared her for professional school. You can check out the full article here. Congratulations Kaitlin on all your accomplishments!

Congratulations to Prasadi and Mary on their recent publication in Organic Letters!! Their work demonstrates that 1,4-dihydropyridine anions can serve as a general platform for visible-light-mediated single-electron reductions. You can check out the article here.

Congratulations to John and Mayokun on their recent publication in Angewandte Chemie!! Their work leverages the unique reactivity of Vitamin B₁₂ to photocatalyze the cyclopropanation of electron-deficient alkenes using dichloromethane as the methylene source. You can check out the article here.

Bailey, Mary, Kaitlin, Zane, and Megan all presented their projects at OSU's 2023 Undergraduate Research Symposoium yesterday. Great job everyone!

Congratulations Mayokun on accepting a full-time position at Weaver Labs right here in Stillwater! Best of luck with your future endeavours!

Congratulations to Prasadi on her recent publication in Green Chemistry!! Her work is a unique example of radical generation from 4-alkyl-dihydropyridines in the absence of a photocatalyst or oxidant. You can check out the article here.

Congratulations to Tarannum and Mayokun on their recent Synopsis article in the Journal of Organic Chemistry!! This Synopsis summarizes the recent progress in the field of catalytic EDA complex photochemistry. You can check out the article here.

Bailey, Kaitlin, and Mary all presented their research projects at OSU's Undergraduate Research Symposium today. Great job girls!

Our recent publication in Organic Letters on halogen-bonding catalysis was selected for a supplemental cover! Check out the article here!
