How much of ChemistryWorld's 2019 "wish list" for organic methods has been solved? A surprisingly high amount, considering it's only been 4 years: corinwagen.github.io/public/blog/20…

From ChemRxiv to J. Am. Chem. Soc. ! The work of Tin V.T. Nguyen, André Bossonnet and Matt on the Photocatalyzed [2σ + 2σ] and [2σ + 2π] Cycloadditions for the Synthesis of Bicyclo[3.1.1]heptanes and 5- or 6-Membered Carbocycles is now out, thread of a long story 1/4 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Excited to share that my latest work has been featured on the front cover of Organic Letters. The cover art especially portrays the traditional Vietnamese dish ‘Bánh Chưng, Bánh Tét” for the #LunarNewYear celebration. J Org Chem/Org Lett Lee Group@UIC Chemistry at UIC pubs.acs.org/toc/orlef7/26/7

Happy to share our preprint ChemRxiv on direct excitation of carbonyl cyclopropanes. Performing a sequential cyclopropanation/selective ring opening reaction, we can achieve a ring expansion of unsaturated carbocycles. Thanks to all co-authors for great works.

📢 The ETH-Rat has announced the appointment of professors at EPFL. Congratulations to Nikita Kavokine, Suong Nguyen, Thomas Vidick, Alexandre Alahi Alexandre Alahi, Alcherio Martinoli and Christel Genoud. go.epfl.ch/0fdfc2

From ChemRxiv to Chemical Science ! The final version of the work of Stefano on the annulation of BCBs with dienes has now just been published! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Chiral ligands are key in asymmetric catalysis but costly to synthesize and screen. Alex Alexandre Schoepfer together with Ruben Rubén Laplaza, Matt, and clemence corminboeuf introduce a data-driven strategy 📈 to predict enantioselectivity even with small data sets NCCR Catalysis

Delighted to see Alistair's work J Org Chem/Org Lett! We introduce a simple model for predicting strain-based reactivity, moving beyond the prevalent idea of geometric strain. As someone once said "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler"pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Do not miss your chance to work with Su!! An excellent chemist and enthusiastic mentor. Highly recommended!

It was a great experience at GRC Org. reactions and processes. Had the chance to discuss and learn from tons of great chemists from industry and academia. Thanks to SCNAT Platform Chemistry for the chemistry travel award.

Thrilled to announce our review paper on STED microscopy is out! Grateful for the opportunity to contribute and learn so much throughout this journey 😎

Bicyclopropenyls are among the least investigated constitutional isomers of benzene, as difficult to access: This changes now with the work of Xiangdong Xiangdong Li combining CpBX reagents wit gold and silver catalysis just published J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Great work Duc Ly. Nice way to recover precious Cat.

Excited to share the first work of my PhD and the first publication of the Trowbridge Group! Our work on Oxene chemistry is out in Angewandte Chemie. Huge thanks to everyone involved! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

This year compound challenge goes to my teammate from last year compoud challenge Duy-Viet Vo , a highly taleneted chemist and the first Vietnamese chemist comes on top of a global challenge. Congratulations, you makes us vietnamese proud.

Very happy to have this work published in Angewandte Chemie. Huge thanks to Duncan Brownsey, André Bossonnet and Matthew Wodrich for the amazing work.

Late Christmas gift from Tin V.T. Nguyen and Trinh with photomediated chlorinations of C-H, C-C and C=C bonds using the venerable Willgerodt reagent now as preprint on ChemRxiv in collaboration with Thanh Nguyen AstraZeneca chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

The news and views article of Tin V.T. Nguyen rdcu.be/ea15w gives insight into the recent great work of Song Lin Lab in Nat. Chem. on the light activation of PIMS (phenyliodine(III) bis(hexamethyldisilazide)  for C-H bond functionalization nature.com/articles/s4155…
