Out today from #JOC, work from Thongsornkleeb and colleagues on how easily accessible gem-dibromospirocyclic benzo[d][1,3]oxazines serve as capable precursors to the previously elusive 4H-furo[3,2-b]indoles in nice overall efficiencies. Please have a look: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

To C–C or C–H cleave...why not both?! Congrats to Hannah, Stefan and the rest of the team for their publication in J. Am. Chem. Soc. on syntheses of lycodine-type alkaloids! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Just out in #OL, Michaudel Lab is excited to share the synthesis of alkenyl sulfamates and β-ketosulfonamides via SuFEx click chemistry and photochemical rearrangement. Check it out: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

We are looking for a postdoc with experience in organic synthesis, catalysis, and/or organometallics to work on our NIH-funded project to develop MOFs in organic chemistry! No experience making MOFs is required! Email Phill ([email protected]) if interested and please retweet!😀

Core modification is an open-and-shut case! Congrats to Justin and Sojung Kim, and #MerckChemistry collaborators, Dr. Lux, TS Surfer, Dono, and Charles Yeung for their work on a ring contraction of saturated heterocycles now in Science Magazine science.sciencemag.org/content/early/…

Charis' undergraduate work with Prof. LaLonde at Reed College and as a CCHF summer fellow is now online in J Org Chem/Org Lett! Congrats Charis and thank you to all the collaborators. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Fresh out in #JOC, an acid-catalyzed epoxide-opening/semipinacol rearrangement/aromatization of dibenzocycloheptanol epoxides has been developed by Ploypradith & colleagues to yield substituted 9-anthraldehydes. Please have a look: fal.cn/3hCKb

Starting a Masters or PhD in organic chemistry this fall? Synthesis Workshop (synthesis-workshop.com) can help you stay up to date on advances in organic synthesis! Detailed open access videos and guest talks on a wide range of topics can help you get started! RTs appreciated!

Congratulations to David MacMillan (MacMillan Group) and Ben List (AK List) on the The Nobel Prize! It's a great day for asymmetric organocatalysis!

Yes, please.

We are hiring a postdoc to start Spring/Summer 2022! Applicants with a synthetic organic and/or organometallic background who are interested in developing/studying catalytic mechanisms are invited to apply. For more information see: sandfordlab.com/group Please RT! #chempostdoc

A chemist’s Valentine’s Day card

At long last: The dynamic duo of Bobby and Goh report their syntheses of the longiborneols in Nature Chemistry! Congrats Robert Lusi and Goh!! nature.com/articles/s4155…

Mr Elon Musk has invited the world to abuse him verbally on his own property. That’s my definition of a generous and gracious host

A father told his daughter, "Congrats on your graduation. I bought you a car a while back. I want you to have it now." Before I give it to you, take it to a car dealer in the city and sell it. See how much they offer.” The girl came back to her father & said: "They offered me
