Ya-Li Wu (advisors: Prof. Xiao and Prof. Chen) was defending her thesis titled Study on Selective Three-Component 1,2-Aminoalkoxylation of 1‑Aryl-1,3-dienes by Dual Photoredox and Copper Catalysis

Ming-Hang Bi (advisors: Prof. Xiao and Prof. Chen) was defending his thesis titled Study on Visible-Light-Driven Photoredox-Catalyzed Selective 1,4-Difluoroalkylesterification of 1,3-Dienes

Wei Zhao (advisors: Prof. Xiao and Prof. Lu) was defending her thesis titled N-Heterocyclic Carbene (NHC)-Catalyzed Desymmetrization of Biaryldialdehydes to Construct Axially Chiral Aldehydes

Jun-Chuan Bai (advisors: Prof. Xiao and Prof. Lu) was defending his thesis titled Dual Cobalt- and Photoredox-Catalyzed Desymmetrization of Divinylphosphine Oxides

Hao Jiang (advisors: Prof. Xiao and Prof. Cheng) was defending his thesis titled Photoinduced Cobalt-Catalyzed Desymmetrization of Pre-Axial Chiral Biaryl Dialdehydes

All of the committee members agree that Ya-Li Wu, Wei Zhao, Jun-Chuan Bai, Ming-Hang Bi, and Hao Jiang have successfully defended their Master theses! Well done! Congratulations to all of them on their hard work and achievements!
