I’m excited to be joining Purdue Chemistry as an Assistant Professor this summer! Thank you to everyone who made this possible! Keep an eye out for the Lovinger Lab's efforts in synthetic physical organic chemistry, catalysis, and reaction development. chem.purdue.edu/people/profile…

Want to become a synthetic physical organic chemist applying modern tools to reaction discovery & catalysis? The Lovinger Lab might be a good fit. We draw inspiration from reactive intermediates as branching points in chemical reaction space to enable new reactivity & selectivity

Congratulations to Gabriel Lovinger and Marcus Sak Marcus Sak on their paper in nature! A HBD catalyst accelerates an SN2 pathway despite H-bonding to the nucleophile by preorganizing the ion pair into a reactive conformation, just like an enzyme would! nature.com/articles/s4158…
