Electrochemical synthesis goes wireless @Nature! Congrats to Bartosz, @JonasRein_ and our friends in the McEuen lab. We’d like to also thank the Lennox Group for their highlight on SPECS: nature.com/articles/d4158…

We've been quiet at @RowanSci recently, and are excited to share what we've been building - Rowan pKa! We've built a workflow to quickly predict pKa values with minimal empiricism using ML potentials, and published a preprint about it: rowansci.com/features/pka-p… (also on ChemRxiv)

Beautiful work by one of my favorite (twitterless) chemists, Jake Essman, from the @JacobsenLab. A story about the development of a potassium-catalyzed Wittig olefination that produces axially chiral alkenes with interesting mechanistic insight. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Time to make more triangles! We introduce our new diastereoselective cyclopropanation protocol using the electrochemical dication pool strategy. Check out all the cool cyclopropanes you can now access at bit.ly/40gdkCV!

Now published in Org Lett! Come for the match between experimental and computed IR spectra, stay for the beautiful biexponential fit to MD data and references from 1904. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

What's the solution structure of hydrogen chloride dissolved in diethyl ether? @JacobsenLab and I are excited to share new work addressing this question with a mix of spectroscopic and computational data. Spoilers: we think it's HOEt2+ Cl-, not H–Cl. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

How do we do better at identifying highly skilled people, especially those overlooked by bureaucratic/credentialist approaches? I review @tylercowen and @danielgross's new book Talent, which offers new insights and ideas on tackling this challenge: corinwagen.github.io/public/blog/20…

Today, a demonstration that the rate of multistep reactions doesn't depend on the energy (or existence) of low-energy intermediates—all you need to think about is the energy of the transition state.

Check out this incredible work from @JohnOvian and Petra @JacobsenLab! Chiral HBDs team up with cationic Ru to catalyze cyclization reactions via anion-binding. Some truly wild catalyst effects involved in rate acceleration and high ee! doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

Excited to share our new strategy for accessing carbenes! … unstabilized, diazo-free, & catalyzed by CoCl2 or FeCl2. Kudos to Lumin, Bethany, Alyson, & Joy on their awesome new @Science paper! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
