We are recruiting🔥 we are not bound by any chemical transformation. We aim to demonstrate concepts across flexible sets of reactions, ultimately generalize them into principles of reaction design Please send application to: gqiu@kofo.mpg.de more info lnkd.in/e6KHaKtb

Photochemically Enabled #TotalSyntheses of Stemoamide Alkaloids by Nicholas R. Akkawi and David A. Nicewicz @NicewiczLab at @uncchemistry in @J_A_C_S pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

It is now in Chemistry World magazine (Royal Society of Chemistry). Cascade reaction brings a new dimension to amine synthesis: chemistryworld.com/news/cascade-r…

Empowering Diastereoselective Cyclopropanation of Unactivated Alkenes with Sulfur Ylides through Nucleopalladation | Journal of the American Chemical Society @iitmadras @TotalSyntheses @JainDeemedtbUnv pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Our work on Transforming 2D Azolium Salts to 3D Caged Tertiary Amines is now published in Chemical Science. We appreciate excellent review process. Thanks to #ANRF and #ERP project (IIT Madras) is acknowledged for fundings. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

We present a previously unrecognized dimension: dispersion affects how sensitively reaction barriers respond to driving force changes. We got another intrinsic reactivity modulator in hand🔥How London Dispersion Affects Intrinsic Reactivity | ChemRxiv - go.shr.lc/3G2lv0N

📢We are recruiting postdocs and PhDs (start date flexible) to work on enantioselective cycloadditions/synthesis of complex polycycles. To apply send a CV, cover letter, research summary (for postdoc), BSc/MSc grades (for PhD) and contact info for at least 2 references via email

Our group's new pre-print! A fully deductive model describing global rate-driving force relationships. It is NOT statistical fitting, and differs significantly from previous conceptual models😉 @EduGp97 deserves the highest appreciation! | ChemRxiv - go.shr.lc/3Q3EQka

Very happy to share the preprint of our latest work (with @guanqichem), in which we derive the global function that governs the relationship between energy barriers and reaction energies! Find out more here: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

The symbolism and the meaning of this moment for all Indians is not to be spoken about—it is only to be imagined… CHAK DE INDIAAAAAAAAAA! #GukeshDing #WorldChampion

Today we have a new graphical highlight thanks to @SamiranDeb16 featuring @thestoltzgroup synthesis of hypersampsone M recently published in @J_A_C_S!! doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4… More posters like this available at synthesis-workshop.com

In #JOrgChem: How exceptions and paradoxes in chemical reactivity advance our understanding: Explore the trade-off between useful and correct and the value of a systematic framework for addressing anomalies. @guanqichem #OpenAccess go.acs.org/bAM

Check out our latest graphical highlight from @SamiranDeb16, featuring the @SarpongGroup synthesis of baphicacanthcusine A! Read the full article here: @angew_chem doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

We're very excited to introduce a new series of graphical highlights created by our Editorial Board member Samiran Deb that we'll start releasing on a regular basis! This is our first one, focusing on a contrasteric glycosylation from the @Shenvi_Lab! @ChemRxiv

Congrats to Dylan and Stephen for their method to glycosylate cotylenol and access 14-3-3 protein-client molecular glues! tinyurl.com/2y45ck4n Donor linker design was aided by Stephen’s “autoDFT” and solved a common problem in terpenoid synthesis: contrasteric glycosylation.

Please check out our crinipellin synthesis @J_A_C_S ! Special thanks to @TantilloLab for the DFT calculations! Concise Total Syntheses of (−)-Crinipellins A and B Enabled by a Controlled Cargill Rearrangement | Journal of the American Chemical Society pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

In this paper, 3rd year graduate student 李春雨 (Chunyu Li) synthesized 25 natural products (!!) using a method of in silico library selection. Chunyu is a new type of student in our lab, having seamlessly blended calculation and synthesis. Take a look: tinyurl.com/mryjxh2w

📢We are recruiting ! Looking for a #PhDposition in organic synthesis / asymmetric catalysis ? Two fully-funded PhD positions @ICMMO_UMR8182. Come study enantioselective cycloadditions with us !
