Breaking my #Twitter hiatus to spread the word about #CORGI - the Canadian Organic Invitational - kicking off our 2023-24 season on 5 Oct! We're starting with a bang, hosting Prof. Rebecca Davis (U Man) and Adam Cook (uOttawa)! Info and registration here! cheminst.ca/cic-virtual/se…

Exciting news! Our lab is moving to the uOttawa Science Department of Chemistry & Biomolecular Sciences. We're looking for graduate students to join us starting May-September 2024. For more information, please email me.

Come join the team! Our lab uOttawa Chem & Biomolec Sci // Chimie & Sci Biomol is hiring PhD students and PDFs for 2024. Those interested in organic synthesis and catalysis are encouraged to apply. More details at newmanlab.ca/recruiting

Congrats to Eric on his successful PhD defense! Eric's latest work on using P2N2 ligands to control regioselectivity in the Mizoroki-Heck reaction is now available on ChemRxiv (doi.org/10.26434/chemr…)

What an honour! Very thankful for the CSC for this wonderful award as well as all the students and postdocs I've had the pleasure to work with.

Steve Newman from the uOttawa Chem & Biomolec Sci // Chimie & Sci Biomol presents a Ni/Bi dual-catalyzed method for the Suzuki–Miyaura arylation of tertiary alcohols. Find out more about his research 👉 brnw.ch/21wGnSQ

Great to see this out in Organic Syntheses! orgsyn.org/demo.aspx?prep… Many thanks to Eric and Steve for their fantastic work on this project!!🙂 Steve Newman

Happy to see this in print! Take a look if you want to learn how to make P2N2 ligands and see what they can do.

Exceptional control of regioselectivity in the Mizoroki-Heck reaction enabled by P2N2 ligands now online John Callahan. Great collaboration with Christopher Rowley, Blacquiere Group, and recent PhD graduate Eric Isbrandt . doi.org/10.1021/jacs.3…

Mizoroki-Heck reactions with cyclic enones are surprisingly difficult. Read our latest work in collaboration with @Pfizer in ACS Catalysis to find out why. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Congrats @ Adam for a wonderful PhD defence followed by an awesome after party with the entire Steve Newman. It was a great privilege working alongside you for the last two years!!!!

Big congrats to the recent graduates!

Thanks Piyas Saha and team! Looking forward to the next 10.

Common reactants, uncommon outcome. See how Zichuan Chen achieved atypical regioselectivity in the Mizoroki-Heck reaction of vinyl boronates in J Org Chem/Org Lett pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…
