Hi all, I’ve recently started a weekly newsletter focused on highlighting key papers in organic synthesis that have been published in the previous week. If you’re interested in reading more you can find the website linked below 👇 organicsynthesis.beehiiv.com

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK MSD scrapped a £1B London R&D hub, cut 125 jobs & blasted the UK as “not internationally competitive” while AZ paused a £200M investment & scaled back a £450M expansion in the UK after Gov support faltered. Does the UK no longer value the life science sector or its scientists?

Do you struggle to keep up with the organic synthesis literature? Our former postdoc @SHBennett_ has started the Organic Synthesis Newsletter, a fantastic weekly summary of the recent literature. I highly recommend you subscribe for this FREE resource!! organicsynthesis.beehiiv.com

It was a privilege to work on such a beautifully designed project and a joy to come in everyday and work with such talented colleagues, all of whom worked so hard towards this outcome! Particular thanks go to my post-doc colleagues @FrichardChem @dJon_es @VDemertz!

Enantioconvergence with complete stereoretention. Check out how @biomimetic_chem developed a new method for enantioconvergence and in one case joined two enantiomers of a racemate into an essentially single (99.99% e.e.) enantiomer using one branch of the methodology.
Andy Lawrence@biomimetic_chem

Our new approach to enantioconvergent reactions is available @NatureChemistry. We hope the community finds it interesting and we’re excited to see how others might be able to exploit this concept! nature.com/articles/s4155… #Stereochemistry #AsymmetricSynthesis #Enantioconvergent

One of the best synthetic chemists I’ve ever met (and also one of the best lab colleagues you may have) has started a weekly summary of the latest literature advances in synthetic organic chemistry🧪 Amazing (and thank you!) ⁦@SHBennett_⁩ 💪🏼 organicsynthesis.beehiiv.com

The serendipitous discovery of a t-BuLi mediated dehalogenation-aromatization reaction enabled the total synthesis of Beraprost and set the stage for a unique approach to the modular synthesis of indolines. Congrats to the team who put so much into the project @SHBennett_
AggarwalLab@AggarwalLab

Our latest work, out now in @J_A_C_S, investigates the de novo synthesis of dihydrobenzofurans and indolines, and the application of this work in the asymmetric synthesis of the antiplatelet drug beraprost. Congratulations to the team! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

@willwh_ @J_A_C_S Thanks Will! It was really cool to see that deuterium shift occuring, maybe even opens up the possibility for other non-H/D 1,2-shifts!

Great to see this out in @J_A_C_S! The serendipitous discovery of a t-BuLi mediated dehalogenation-aromatization reaction really facilitated the total synthesis of Beraprost and set the stage for a unique approach to the modular synthesis of indolines.
Varinder Aggarwal 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦@VarinderAggar11

An unusual elimination reaction, via a carbene intermediate, enabled a novel aromatization process for the synthesis of indolenes and dihydrobenzofurans and paved the way for a short synthesis of beraprost. Congrats to the team. @BristolChem @SynthAtBris @J_A_C_S

I had a great experience working with Andy and his group - the depth of knowledge and quality of chemistry there is incredible and I can’t recommend them enough. I look forward to seeing what comes out of the group in the future and starting a new career @BioAscent!
Andy Lawrence@biomimetic_chem

Today we bid farewell to two amazing postdocs. @SHBennett_ joined us from @AggarwalLab and is now heading for a job @BioAscent @FrichardChem joined us from @arseniyadis and is now heading for a second PDRA @Gaunt_Group Good luck guys and thank you!

Thank you for validating a cool procedure for aldol and dimerisation of succinaldehyde in very high ee. Very useful for prostaglandin synthesis and other 5-ring carbocycles. @DirkTrauner @SynthAtBris @Organicsynthes_
Tufan K Mukhopadhyay, Ph.D.@tk_mukhopadhyay

Really fortunate to contribute to this amazing procedure from @VarinderAggar11 and Steven Bennett. Thanks to @DirkTrauner for letting me work on it.
