A General Stereoselective #Synthesis of [4]Dendralenes by Yi-Min Fan, Madison J. Sowden, Nicholas Magann, Erik J. Lindeboom, Michael G. Gardiner, and Michael S. Sherburn Sherburn Lab at ANU Research School of Chemistry in J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

In this week's #NSynthPick we highlight the total synthesis of matrine alkaloids by Nicholas Magann @erinwestley Maddie Sowden Michael Gardiner and Sherburn Lab from ANU Research School of Chemistry Science & Medicine at ANU published in J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

We're hiring! The Research School of Chemistry looks to appoint up to 5 academic staff (faculty). All areas and levels can apply but particularly seeking: chem. bio., computational, materials, organic, and spec./physical. Please RT jobs.anu.edu.au/cw/en/job/5465…

Thanks to Nancy McGuire J. Am. Chem. Soc. for Spotlighting our recent [4]dendralene paper! ANU Research School of Chemistry Science & Medicine at ANU doi.org/10.1021/jacs.2…

Breaking symmetry is a big deal for #fusion plasmas; sometimes it's intentional, other times it's by accident. That's why we need tools to accurately and efficiently calculate how the plasma changes when this happens. 📢 See our new work in Journal of Plasma Physics : doi.org/10.1017/S00223…

What do you prefer? The synthesis of dendralenes or dendralenes in total synthesis? 🤔 Don’t worry: you we have both covered. Check out our two publications in the latest issue of J. Am. Chem. Soc. out today! ANU Research School of Chemistry pubs.acs.org/toc/jacsat/144…

🚨 Job alert! My colleague Ken Hammond (who recently won a U.S. Department of Energy CAREER award) is looking for a post-doc to perform experiments on the Wendelstein 7-X #stellarator. The position is based MPI für Plasmaphysik (IPP) in Germany. U.S. Fusion Energy social.icims.com/viewjob/pt1667…

Congratulations to Sarah Sarah french for her new total synthesis! With thanks to Chris Sumby for X-Ray structures and Huang Research Group for calculations Total Synthesis of Atrachinenins A and B pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Delighted to see this work published in Chemical Science Check it out if you’re interested in total synthesis and cascade reactions! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Thrilled to see our paper in J. Am. Chem. Soc. today on amino acid derivative #prebiotic #chemistry that could have occurred in formamide on a primordial Earth. Thx to coauthors David, John (@MRC_LMB🇬🇧) and Sasha (undergrad in my lab at University of Otago 🇳🇿🥝)! #originoflife pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Scott Niman's synthesis of a complex analogue of brasilicardin A reveals the importance of key structural elements in the natural product scaffold that are vital to its potent immunosuppressive activity. Congratulations Scott! Read more in J Org Chem/Org Lett at: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

That's Dr. Scott to you! On Tuesday we celebrated Scott Niman's successful defense - you'll be missed around lab but we know you'll do great things in Boulder at Cogent Biosciences 🥳

By this metric all my papers would have been ready to publish a long time ago 😅

Reagent-free, catalyst-free, strain-activation free C–C bond formation! 😉 Check out our latest contribution in J. Am. Chem. Soc. Another fun collaboration with the Coote group. Congratulations to Zhipeng, Nick, Maddie and Rhys. ANU Research School of Chemistry doi.org/10.1021/jacs.3…

Organic Syntheses announces the election of Chris Vanderwal, Professor of Chemistry at University of California, Irvine, to the OS Board of Editors.

The Scripps Research Chemistry Department is hiring! Application Link: apply.interfolio.com/131532

Super stoked to announce that I will be joining Auburn University Auburn University as an Assistant Professor in the fall! Shoutout to my mentors Sherburn Lab, Corey Stephenson, PRS-Group and Prof Michelle Coote for all of their guidance and support over the years and during this process!

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am delighted to announce that the inaugural symposium "The Art and Science of Total Synthesis of Natural and Designed Molecules for Biology and Medicine: Synthetic Strategies and Methods" (ASTS-NDM 2024) will take place in Paris, France.
