How can design and synthesis overcome antibiotic resistance? Find out this week as Kelvin Wu (Myers group Harvard Chemistry) shares his work on cresomysin recently published in Science Magazine! Thanks to Reem for hosting/editing! youtu.be/M9H8qCcDRqs Ref: doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

This summer, our lab had the pleasure of having Mustafa M. from Brighton High School as a colleague. We appreciate your enthusiasm, humor, and contributions to our research! Thanks also to Amelia and Ariel for serving as mentors 🧪⚗️

An expanded version of this work is now out in J. Am. Chem. Soc.: doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4… Many thanks to several fantastic reviewers who guided us to improve the study (incl discovery of a new ligand for less biased p-alkyl/aryl substrates). Happy Holidays!

The revised & formatted version now in Angewandte Chemie! doi.org/10.1002/anie.2… Nathan, Dana, Breno expanded the study to show 10 examples of ArSFs (incl 2 crystal structures) & highlight the reactivity of this FG with alkenes, alkynes, and carbenes (uncatalyzed!) Happy New Year!

In Org. Lett. (J Org Chem/Org Lett), Khash and Nathan report a simple, bench-stable, and recyclable organic reagent that quantitatively releases CO in solution upon blue-light irradiation. The method can be combined with carbonylative cross-coupling reactions. doi.org/10.1021/acs.or…
