This week’s Friday Synthesis features Chris Lamartina, Rovis Group, leading a talk entitled: Modular Synthesis of Unnatural Peptides via Rh(III)-Catalyzed Diastereoselective Three-Component Carboamidation Reaction Listen in today @ 4pm, Havemeyer 209!

Today’s Friday Synthesis Symposium Columbia Chemistry is our very own Chris Lamartina on his recent work in the lab!

ORPassed! Hawnestlyyyyyyyyy, congrats to Chris Lamartina

Slick way to ligate peptides while also introducing non-canonical AA’s! 👏 #PeptidesForTheWin

Now on JACS ASAPS! Check out our paper on using photoinduced, Ni-Ar bond homolysis to generate C(sp2) radicals for selective N-demethylation of trialkylamines! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Have you ever wondered if you can utilize the amazing benefits of deep red/NIR light for controlled olefin metathesis? Check out our work in ACS catalysis today in collaboration with the Nolan group! Great mechanistic studies and spatiotemporal control! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

We are happy to share our studies using metallopeptides to catalyze asymmetric benzylic aminations, now out in J. Am. Chem. Soc.. Nice job Naudin and Savannah! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

We want to congratulate Chris (🛸) for receiving the Johnson Matthey Student Award from the International Precious Metals Institute (IPMI)! He attended a conference in Scottsdale, AZ to present his work on Rh(III) catalysis! #puremetals #rockon #rhodiumforthewin

Congratulations to my bestie julia for a gorgeous publication!!! 😍😇🥳

Happy TOTs-o-ween 🎃!!! We had some ~spo0o0o0kie~ costumes today, can you guess who we dressed as? In addition, this year’s TOTS (Topic of the Semester) winner was on negative temperatures (< 0 K), how scary!

~chain~ walking in a winter wonderland ❄️ 🎄 check out our newest paper on remote hydroamination of internal alkenes via rhodium catalysis! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Forming tertiary carbanions from primary amines?? No problem! Check out our latest in ACIE for a reductive radical polar crossover aka the aza-reformatsky rxn! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

so happy to finally show what i’ve been up to these past 5 years! thank you so much to everyone that played a part in making this happen ❤️

I am so grateful for the past 5 years spent in the Rovis Lab at Columbia!! The experience of a lifetime, mostly thanks to all the amazing friends and mentors I met along the way! Excited to start a new chapter at NYU soon ❤️❤️

Extremely grateful to see this work come out into the world! Thank you to my fantastic collaborators ✨dr. cass✨ and Jilly for making this project reach new heights! My personal favorite project in my PhD, I hope it helps push forward the field of peptide macrocyclization 💙

Rh(III)-catalyzed carboamidation and it’s the same but there’s macrocycles so it’s not #bratsummer so lucky to have worked on this with my best friend who is now DR. BEST FRIEND ❤️

It’s #bratsummer but it’s also #macrocyclesummer 💚💚💚 Rovis Group ✨dr. cass✨

Super proud of Chris Lamartina for this great paper and a superb thesis defense!
