Organic Synthesis Newsletter

A short background on the Organic Synthesis newsletter. 👇 The purpose of this newsletter is to highlight key papers in organic synthesis that have been published in the previous week. organicsynthesis.beehiiv.com

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

Check out this week’s newsletter for the latest advances in synthetic organic chemistry, including a new method for enantioconvergence and a para- to meta-isomerisation of phenols. organicsynthesis.beehiiv.com/p/new-method-e…

The newsletter stems from this experience and aims to improve literature awareness by providing subscribers with an easy-to-read summary of the latest and most important publications in organic synthesis—delivered straight to your inbox, every Monday morning. 📬

Many @AggarwalLab alumni have taken this forward and started journal club’s of their own based on what Adam started. I started one of these journal club’s as a PDRA within @biomimetic_chem’s group and wanted to continue this as I moved into industry.

The idea for this newsletter originated from the @AggarwalLab’s own journal club, started by Dr. Adam Noble who had prior experience with other journal clubs and brought this over to the group. This proved instantly popular and useful - thanks Adam for passing this knowledge on!

Journal clubs are a useful way to keep on top of this—by dividing the task among colleagues before collating and sending it out. However, this requires the journal club to: (i) fit your topic of interest, (ii) be easily accessible, and (iii) be updated regularly.

This alongside lab work, meetings, presentations, report writing etc. can often mean that literature searching quickly falls to the bottom of the list, despite its value. Even with the use of an RSS reader, following the latest literature can be time-consuming.

Keeping up-to-date with the literature while undertaking a PhD or PDRA position in any field is a challenging process. Particularly in organic synthesis, where hundreds, if not thousands of new publications appear online daily.
