Congrats to Stephen on completing a nice overview of the last 5-years of our group’s work on using allenamides for asymmetric synthesis by Cu-catalyzed reductive coupling in Chemical Communications (@ChemCommun)! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Congrats to Raphael on our lab's most recent publication in @JOC_OL! Raphael was able to enable the use of aldehydes in CuH-catalyzed aminoallylation through suppression of aldehyde reduction. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Happy to finally share this work! Congrats to Samantha and team!

Congrats to Dr. Raphael Klake for completing all his doctoral requirements and good luck at your new postdoctoral position at Merck Boston! Looking forward to reading your next round of publications from Merck!

Check out our lab's most recent publication in @JOC_OL! Stephen was able to improve enantioselectivities in Cu-catalyzed aminoallylation reactions through the application of acyclic allenamides. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Congrats to our first graduate student Samantha Gargaro for completing all her doctoral requirements and good luck at your new role as a patent specialist at Lando & Anastasi!

We are excited to announce that the lab received NSF funding through NSF CAREER award 2143712 to support our continued efforts on Cu-catalyzed reductive coupling reactions utilizing allenamides! nsf.gov/awardsearch/sh…

Check out our lab's most recent publication in @JOC_OL! We report the development of an asymmetric reductive alkynylation resulting in alpha-stereogenic tertiary propargylic amines using tandem Ir/Cu catalysis pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Check out our lab's most recent publication in @JOC_OL Improved diastereocontrol in the linear-selective Cu-catalyzed reductive coupling of Ketones and Allenamides pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Check out the most recent work out of our lab! Raphael looks at the Cu-calayzed enantioselective reductive coupling of ketones to form 1,2-aminoalcohols. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Group service day in the Sieber Lab! Helped load this truck full of ~25,000 pounds of donated shoes and clothing for homeless children and those in need, and paired hundreds of donated shoes at @Soles4Souls

Our most recent publication on Cu-catalyzed reductive coupling of imines and allenamides, in collaboration with @gutierrez_lab pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

Thank you to the @PhlowUSA and @VCU @MedsforAll teams for the opportunity to learn more about their work to strengthen U.S. development of critical medications and fortify our medical supply chain. This research is essential, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our newest publication in the Israel Journal of Chemistry, in honor of Barry Trost's 80th birthday. Cross‐Coupling of Allenamides and C‐Based Nucleophiles by Pd‐Catalyzed Allylic Alkylation onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ij…

Annual Sieber Group outing at TopGolf, featuring masks and hand sanitizer

Day 5 of #SpiritWeek and happy #NerdShirtFriday with hardly anyone around we could snap the hottest album cover of 2020. Had to end this week with a feature of the OG chemist around these parts! #NobelLaureate #JohnFenn What do you think? @VCU @VCUCHS @VCUpresident #ChemTwitter

Congratulations, Samantha, on passing her Candidacy proposal defense!

Congratulations, Raphael, on passing your Oral Candidacy Exam!!
