Hydroalkylation of Vinylarenes by Transition-Metal-Free In Situ Generation of Benzylic Nucleophiles Using Tetramethyldisiloxane and Potassium tert-Butoxide (Stephen G. Newman and co-workers) @TheNewmanLab #openaccess 🔓 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

@TheNewmanLab had a fun time @qomsboc 2024. Thanks @diaogroupNYU for her valuable feedback and a shout out to @arefvaezghaemi for winning best oral presentation @ Piers for best poster. Celebrations continued thereafter. Big thanks to @RousseauxGroup for being a great organizer!

Common reactants, uncommon outcome. See how @czc_chem achieved atypical regioselectivity in the Mizoroki-Heck reaction of vinyl boronates in @JOC_OL pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

Thanks @PiyasChem and team! Looking forward to the next 10.

A huge effort led by recent PhD graduate Adam Cook, who just received a prestigious Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship. Good luck in the Wender group @StanfordUChem

Ni-catalyzed deoxygenative arylation of alcohols via an SN1-type mechanism thanks to the β-silicon effect and new wide bite angle NHC ligands. Now online in @JACS. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

@gilian_thomas @UniversityLeeds Amazing! Can't wait to see what you discover.

🎉 Thrilled to be joining the faculty at @UniversityLeeds as a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) this Fall! I am so grateful for this opportunity to continue in academia and pursue my research. HUGE thanks to all of my mentors along the way! #ThomasTeam2024

Big congrats to the recent graduates!

Congrats @ Adam for a wonderful PhD defence followed by an awesome after party with the entire @TheNewmanLab. It was a great privilege working alongside you for the last two years!!!!

@thevanderwallab @pfizer Philipp certainly knows his stuff. Must have been well trained!

A marvelous collaboration between @TheNewmanLab and @pfizer that includes our alumnus Philipp Roosen! Congratulations to the team for this interesting and insightful contribution to Heck chemistry: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

@JBYAO199368 Thanks! We find there's always new stuff to learn, even for seemingly simple chemistry.

Insightful studies! A good example for the organometallic course for me

Mizoroki-Heck reactions with cyclic enones are surprisingly difficult. Read our latest work in collaboration with @Pfizer in @ACSCatalysis to find out why. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

@ChemRxiv Our review is now online @ACSChemRev (doi.org/10.1021/acs.ch…). Take a look to see some creative ways chemists have come up with to directly use alcohols in transition metal catalysis.

How can we better use feedstock molecules and avoid stoichiometric functional group interconversion steps? PhD student Adam Cook documents how catalysis can enable complexity-building reactions with alcohols, now on @ChemRxiv (dx.doi.org/10.26434/chemr…)

@awhspeed @JACS @RowleyGroup @jmblacquiere Thanks Alex. Like most things, the 'rules of thumb' here are not quite as universal or as rigorously constructed as we tend to think. It's quite a challenge to figure out exactly which Heck reactions work with high yield/selectivity and which ones don't.

@TheNewmanLab @JACS @RowleyGroup @jmblacquiere Congrats! Doing the Heck in class right now, and might have to revisit regioselectivity!

Exceptional control of regioselectivity in the Mizoroki-Heck reaction enabled by P2N2 ligands now online @JACS. Great collaboration with @RowleyGroup, @jmblacquiere, and recent PhD graduate Eric Isbrandt . doi.org/10.1021/jacs.3…

Synthesis of Secondary Benzylic Alcohols by Reductive Arylation of Aldehydes: α-Phenyl-6-quinolinemethanol Gilian T. Thomas, Eric S. Isbrandt, and Stephen G. Newman orgsyn.org/demo.aspx?prep…

Happy to see this in print! Take a look if you want to learn how to make P2N2 ligands and see what they can do.

Great to see this out in @OrgSynth! orgsyn.org/demo.aspx?prep… Many thanks to Eric and Steve for their fantastic work on this project!!🙂 @TheNewmanLab

@TheNewmanLab from the @uOttawaCHM presents a Ni/Bi dual-catalyzed method for the Suzuki–Miyaura arylation of tertiary alcohols. Find out more about his research 👉 brnw.ch/21wGnSQ

@gilian_thomas Thanks Gilian!

@TheNewmanLab Congratulations! 🎉

What an honour! Very thankful for the CSC for this wonderful award as well as all the students and postdocs I've had the pleasure to work with.
