Electrifying chemistry...
- A message to the @scrippsresearch chemistry community from @DonnaBlackmond and Phil regarding the @angew_chem essay posted here for anyone interested on Openflask: openflask.blogspot.com/2020/06/messag…
- 🚨RADICAL RETHINK: STEREORETENTIVE CROSS COUPLING UNLOCKED🚨 Today in @ChemRxiv (chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…) the first method for stereoretentive radical cross-coupling is disclosed. No fancy ligands or redox needed—just a Ni-diazene twist. 120 years after Gomberg, a new chapter
- Can total synthesis provide a viable blueprint for a med. chem. exploration of Taxol in the absence of semi-synthesis? Like proving an obscure mathematical theorem, thats the fundamental q. we set out to answer >13 years ago. Appearing now on @ChemRxiv : bit.ly/2UWP7Bz
- DEAR JOURNALS THAT CHARGE THOUSANDS FOR COLOR GRAPHICS: 1980 CALLED AND WOULD LIKE THEIR POLICY BACK. Sincerely, Scientists and taxpayers
- Several folks have requested that Heterocycles Classes be made available on YouTube (they are already on iTunes U). Here is a link to the 19 lectures from 2019 as well as all lecture handouts in the ensuing tweets:
- Finally, RADICAL CROSS COUPLING without the exogenous REDOX. We disclose in @ChemRxiv (chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…) a broadly general platform for achieving transformations that normally required excess metallic or chemical reducing agents or photochemical setups (and their
- Presenting an electrifying C–C bond forming method that can drastically shorten the routes to a myriad of structures, appearing today in @ChemRxiv (bit.ly/3sSCzxw).
- Today we report in @ChemRxiv a scalable solution to the total synthesis (and structural reassignment) of the Portimines (bit.ly/3iJ61DT). In collaboration with @_chrisgparker_ and Luke Lairson the remarkable biological activity of this natural product family was revealed
- Electroaffinity labeling: a powerful new tool for target identification and Chemical Biology. Appearing today in @ChemRxiv, a collaboration with brilliant @Merck scientists: bit.ly/3B5eSEv
- TAGETITOXIN! With only one of its 11 carbons without a heteroatom attached, its probably the most polar organic compound we have ever made... A total synthesis, Just Accepted @J_A_C_S: bit.ly/32CQpqI Behind-the-scenes: bit.ly/3hjEAtG
- We finished some natural product total syntheses from 2016-2020. Here’s why we did it, what we learned, and an analysis of how far we have to go: pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.102…
- Degrade proteins, not your work schedule! A new method appearing today @ChemRxiv (chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…) simplifies access to molecular glues (like PROTACS) to save medicinal chemists valuable time. One-step access from cheap commercial materials, a trivial experimental setup,
- The 2023 edition of Heterocycles is coming on April 3 (see attached syllabus)! This year will be a reverse classroom format wherein new material will be discussed with problem solving sessions including real-world consulting questions.
