Sunkyu Han has recently joined #OrgLett as an Associate Editor. Professor Han is a KAIST chemist recognized for impactful natural‑product research. His group develops complex metabolites and synthetic methods inspired by natural products. go.acs.org/e0G

Congrats, Shumpei, Takumi, and Yota! We report "The Synthesis of Tertiary Alkylamines from Alkyl-Substituted Alkenes Using Amine Umpolung Strategy" in J. Am. Chem. Soc. @J_A_C_S pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Postdoctoral position available! (kmshinlab.com) Research areas include: 1) Transition metal catalysis 2) Asymmetric catalysis 3) High-throughput experimentation If interested, apply by email (kmshin@skku.edu) with your CV, a research summary, and 3 references!

It’s been a while since we posted here! Turns out our cyclopropenimine–thiourea catalysts don’t just work for small molecules, they can work for polymers too :) In a collaboration with Prof. Byeong-Su Kim's group, we applied our catalyst platform to the stereoselective polymerization of rac-lactide. Happy to share the story @angew_chem onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

📣 Thrilled to announce our incredible speaker lineup for the 2026 edition of #ETOC Online Symposium on April 29-30th.🗓️ Join us by registering today and to stay up-to-date! : tinyurl.com/ETOC2026-regis…

🌟 Plenary speaker announcement for OMCAT-7 Korea (June 14–17, 2026)! Please welcome Prof. Hajime Ito (@haj19932469 ) from @ICReDDconnect -a true master of mechanochemistry. When chemistry gets moving, mechanochemistry is at the heart of it! ⚙️🧪

Meet the masterminds behind OMCAT-7 in Korea! Prof. Sungwoo Hong (@Medisyn_Kaist) & Prof. Do Hyun Ryu (@dohyun5931) are steering the ship. Synthetic chemists from around the world- see you in Korea this June! 🧪✈️

🌟 Plenary speaker announcement for OMCAT-7 Korea (June 14–17, 2026)! Please welcome Prof. Mark Lautens (@MarkLautens) from @UofT - a true master of organometallic catalysis. Organometallic chemistry at its finest, coming to Korea! 🧪✨ sites.chem.utoronto.ca/chemistry/staf…

Registration for the OM&CAT-7 conference in Korea is now open! Early registration & poster abstract by Mar 31, 2026. Check out our official webpage: sites.google.com/view/omcat2026…

Our latest work is now published ASAP in JACS. We demonstrate that poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) can be mechanochemically activated to function as a mechanotunable Brønsted-acid-releasing reagent pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Ok here it is - out of 44 FDA approvals this year, 31 are small molecules (70%), 26 of those are oral drugs (84%), 22 of them are chiral (71%). This is the largest number and percentage of chiral FDA approved molecules in a single year. Fitusiran is not a small molecule, bonus.

The @YulabJin reports a one-step method to stereoselectively attach fluorine to drug-like molecules using low-cost fluoride. Published in @NatureCatalysis with first author @NikChekshin and @bmsnews, the approach uses fluorine-18 for PET imaging to track bioactive compounds and accelerate drug discovery.

8th Molecular Machine Learning Symposium - ONLINE! 15th Jan 2026, 3pm UTC+1 - Safe the date! More information to follow shortly... Registration link: uni-ms.zoom-x.de/webinar/regist…

Check out our newest paper out now in ACS Catalysis! Mechanistically Driven Development of Kumada Catalyst-Transfer Polymerizations: A Rapid Injection NMR Study | ACS Catalysis pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

The 1st ACDC (Asymmetric Catalysis Design Center in Korea)–ICReDD Joint Symposium was held at Hokkaido University.

⚡️We are happy to share our recent work in @angew_chem with a collaboration with Kim group at CNU. By adjusting electrochemical conditions, we access haliranium-mediated C–O bond or amidyl-radical-driven C–N bond formation, supported by CV, kinetic, and computational studies.

Pd-AAA just got an upgrade ✨ HTE meets bench-stable chiral Pd precatalysts for speedy, smart optimization. #Catalysis #HTE #OrgChem Another great collaboration with @LeitchLab, @Servier and the Huang group at Xiamen University pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… @QMUL, @uvic, @XMU_1921

Harvard professor literally dropped the best ML systems tutorial you’ll ever see
