Did you know you can get free journal copies of SYNTHESIS, SYNLETT and SYNFACTS at our Thieme booth at #OMCOSXXI as well as #ScienceofSynthesis crosswords for your trip back home? First come, first serve! :) OMCOS

Our publication appears. Congratulations to ⁦Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC)⁩ ⁦Cheryl Arrowsmith⁩ & Rachel Harding ⁦Bijan Mirabi⁩ + many others Discovery and Characterization of a Chemical Probe Targeting the Zinc-Finger Ubiquitin-Binding Domain of HDAC6 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Our new paper highlights the discovery and characterization of a new chemical probe. This tool will facilitate the exploration of the functional roles of its target, HDAC6-UBD, and lay the groundwork for future drug development efforts. Read more: bit.ly/47b2X7O

Way to go ⁦Bijan Mirabi⁩ on a Silver Medal poster at OMCOS. You did the ⁦The Lautens Group⁩ proud yet again.

It’s a wrap. PhDone for Dr Bijan Mirabi ⁦Bijan Mirabi⁩ #57 Heading off to a top job in industry straight from his degree. He did it all, synthesis, computation, medicinal chemistry with ⁦Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC)⁩ catalysis, methodology and mechanism. Sad to see you go.

Hi #ChemTwitter, we're looking for guest speakers that could join us to talk about the following topics: - Intro to patent law for chemists - Intro to data science for chemists - Intro to cGMP Any folks out there interested in giving a talk on these topics?? RTs appreciated!

The first total synthesis of the E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme (UAE) inhibitor himeic acid A featuring a 6π-electrocyclization to form its γ-pyrone ring system, reported by Batey et al. Check it out in #OrgLett pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Ni-quinone 📖 Part 2 is online J. Am. Chem. Soc.. Yeongyu Hwang designed a quinone ligand to enable 1,2-carboamidation via nitrenoid transfer. Using DFT, he traced the origin of enhanced reactivity to hemilability & ⏫ electrophilicity during migratory insertion. tinyurl.com/yus89484

Check out our latest paper in J. Am. Chem. Soc. to access bis-heterocycles via palladium catalysis. A great collaboration with Alan Aspuru-Guzik to study the photophysical properties. Congratulations to Ramon Arora, Bijan Mirabi, Andrew Durant, Carlota, and Austin. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

If you are interested in C(sp3)-H activation with Nickel, check out our latest review in #Synlett. A special issue dedicated to Keith Fagnou, written by Colton Johnson, Shangyu Li, Ramon Arora, Bijan Mirabi and Mark Lautens OC. thieme-connect.com/products/ejour…

Things keep getting bigger in Texas

Excited to share that one of my Ph.D. projects on photoinduced Ir-nitrene transfer has now been published in Angewandte Chemie! A result of fruitful collaboration with Prof. Hyotcherl Ihee's group (KAIST Chemistry, @ibs_media) | onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

We are looking for a postdoc to continue on a cool project involving molecular photoswitches! See dub.sh/M1bJSrY for more info and how to apply. Due to the short timeline, EER applicants only.

We are looking more and more like heterocyclic chemists (nematocide chemists). Thanks to Peter J. Roy and the entire team including Justin Ching from The Lautens Group who did the synthetic work. So many other collaborators! Igor Stagljar …. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Arguably the coolest chemistry we’ve uncovered yet ChemRxiv, especially given that it’s with just one metal!! 🤯Fantastic work by Stas Melnikovᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ and first of many collabs with Baik Group | Hydride as a Leaving Group in Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution | - go.shr.lc/3ycdkeL
