Remember when I posted about the highly-similar cyclobutane insertion chemistry coming out of the Cramer group? Well, a new contestant has just been published in ACIEE:

I jumped down the rabbit-hole of the Supporting Information, and returned with these two "general" procedures - blink, and you'll miss the differences!

Same catalyst precursor. Same ligand (well, different enantiomer). Same solvent. Same time. Similar reaction temps and purification conditions. Now, I'm not saying that the Cramer group shouldn't have published this paper, but in the same journal? With essentially the same substrates?


Does anyone else believe that these could have been published together, in a single high-impact paper?
