SMWH Lab

NOS + 100 years —> an awesome time So grateful for the hard work of my team. If you are at NOS check out the posters of my students. Charles Teeples (S62) and Liam Murphy (S56) at 800pm and Emily Arnold (T60) on Tuesday! Be there or be square. I mean triangle. 🙂 #nos2025

The next #NOS2025 plenary speaker is @Sidhill_Phd (@SmwhLab) of @uncchemistry. This is his first NOS talk and he is the 5th UNC chemist to speak. His research involves organic synthesis and catalysis, including orphaned cyclopropanes. #returntotheroots

Have a look at the work of Vladyslav @Vlad__Smyrnov on accessing cyclopropeniums via a radical-polar crossover approach in @angew_chem . Our work complete recent breakthroughs of @MarcosGSuero and @SmwhLab to make cyclopropeniums more accessible. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

@ndchiappini Us too

Thanks @MatthewHorwitz1 for highlighting @ieckartfrank s work in the group on spirocyclobutane synthesis on the Synthesis Workshop! Everyone should check it out! @uncchemistry

My rotators and grad students got together on the last day of rotations for a final Molecule of the Month activity! Loved all of the very creative proposals ranging from biomimetic to those exploiting methods developed in our group! Also thanks @DuckDonuts for awesome donuts! 🤤

IT'S FINALLY HERE! Starting October 28th, the Synthesis Workshop Advanced Organic Chemistry course will begin releases through our regular YouTube channel for FREE, thanks to the massive efforts of presenters from many researchers from academia and industry! Support by sharing!

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2023 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Moungi G. Bawendi, Louis E. Brus and Alexei I. Ekimov “for the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots.”

Check out our new study on diastereoselective vinylcyclobutane synthesis out in @J_A_C_S. Way to go Isaiah! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Virginia Tech is hiring! We are searching for an assistant professor in organic chemistry with expertise in synthetic methodology, medicinal chemistry, and/or catalysis. careers.pageuppeople.com/968/cw/en-us/j… #chemjobs #chemtwitter @BlackInChem @LatinXChem

@UOHaleyLab Thanks!

@SmwhLab As a "reformed" cyclopropene chemist, this is way cool!

Happy to share this study on fluorocyclopropenium ions out now in JACS! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… Way to go Joey!

@ndchiappini And thanks Tantillo lab at UC Davis for another awesome collaboration!

Also thanks @ndchiappini for the shout out!

@wpiers1 @DocAJMM It’s very generous!

@DocAJMM @SmwhLab The borane that keeps on giving!

Super cool borane catalysis! Keep rocking it @SmwhLab !

Our Core is actively searching for a quantitative mass spectrometrist. If you are interested or know someone who may be, click/share the link below: unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/261278 #TeamMassSpec #quant @uncchemistry

Congratulations @UyedaLab! Excellent work...Catalytic Asymmetric Cyclopropanations with Nonstabilized Carbenes pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

GRFP^ got a little too excited for Charles there! 🤣

Congrats to 2nd year Charles Teeples on landing an NSF GFRP award! Way to go!!

Happy to announce our lab has been awarded an NSF CAREER Award to study the synthesis and reactivity of halomucononitriles! Way to go team and thanks @NSF
