Our latest dinickel catalysis paper is out now in JACS ASAP! See Chris, Chengyi, and Perry’s work on hindered azoarene synthesis through N=N coupling below 🧪 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

This idea was especially inspired by the really cool work on halogen transfer done by fellow @CSBSJU alumnus Jeff Bandar, who’s research I’ve always thought was really exciting and creative! I was hyped to apply that work in the continuing Roberts group arynes lineage.

Really hyped to share my latest work in grad school focusing on a fun difunctionalization of arynes! @robertsgroupumn we show halogen transfer can install halogens competitive to protons! Thanks to the team @CortnieRoberts and our awesome undergrad Lars! doi.org/10.1021/acs.or…

CONGRATS TO THESE ROCK STARS for passing their @UMNChemistry preliminary exams this week! I am VERY PROUD of both of them and I am sooo lucky to have the opportunity to serve as their research mentor!

I swear the easiest columns are the ones you put off, and the hardest are the ones you’re eager to do

Very chuffed to have our first paper of 2024 out in @Orgmet_ACS! Nice addition to the {SiNDippBe} story, the Be-H complex with bridging Cs atoms is probably the most ridiculous compound I'll ever make pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

@NMRspectroscopy Legitimate question: don’t atoms in identical environments not couple with each other? Those fluorine atoms look identical by a symmetry plane parallel to the arene, so I wouldn’t have thought they would couple with each other.

@ndchiappini Ruppert Prakash reagent is my favorite, preps I’ve ran with it have worked so well ❤️ some lovely NMR too!

I found out the other day that there are multiple ways people pronounce “ORCID” and 1) I am shook, but 2) what does #ChemTwitter do?? Asking for science.

(Thread) In the first What If? book, I answered a question about cooking a steak by dropping it from space. At one point, I commented—jokingly!—that if anyone put a steak in a hypersonic wind tunnel to gather better data, I’d love to see the video. Well, I have good news.

@hotbrother3 Kügelrohr was not something that came to mind but is worth trying! I like the other suggestions too, I hadn’t thought of it in the frame of removing product instead. Some products might be trace, but I’ll explore that all the same. Thanks!

Q for #ChemTwitter, any magic advice out there on removing PhCN from a reaction? Trying to see if it’s my magic solvent, and it’s not making it easy. Maybe the DMF tricks with LiCl or #TeamHeptane azeotrope can help? #RealTimeChem

@ndchiappini That CCHF seminar from Du Bois was actually what inspired me to try PhCN and tBuCN in the first place! tBuCN has solubility issues with some reaction components, although I plan to try optimizing those so maybe it’ll improve. Otherwise, xylenes azeotrope? I’ll give it a go 😅
