Our second #PhDposition is in synthetic methodology playing with palladium and novel organoboron reagents - see our website to make informal inquiries watsongroup.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk

Tim’s paper has found a home in Chemistry Europe. Congratulations Tim Hilton and Andrew Leach Research Group! Watson Group St Andrews School of Chemistry …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ch…

Always great to work with the SutherlandGroup group! Congrats all! St Andrews School of Chemistry @EPSRCboron

Out now on synthesis workshop! The full story behind the development and applications of our Pd-catalysed boron homologation last year with Watson Group . Many thanks to Synthesis Workshop for inviting me and Hamideh for editing! @EPSRCboron

Congrats to John McGuff and Marek Varga, whose stellar work on complex benzoxaborocycles (BOBs) has been highlighted in synfacts! Chemistry at Thieme thieme-connect.de/products/ejour…

Another chapter in the [2+2+2] odyssey! We investigate the substrate scope of internal alkynes in our process, metal-ligand recovery as well as catalyst reactivation.

Day 2 at Edinburgh Science Festival! Happy to be here as a part of Boron:Beyond the reagent @EPSRCboron St Andrews School of Chemistry Edinburgh Science Chemistry Edinburgh UoM Pharmacy and Optometry Manchester

Happy to share some recent work on a dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation just out in Chemical Science with Andrew Smith. Well done everyone involved, especially Aífe (now in Manchester Greaney Group)! #compchem ADS Group St Andrews School of Chemistry pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Very pleased to now be Dr Kane 🎉 a dramatic close to an incredible 3.5 years in the Watson lab, and it was great to meet Varinder Aggarwal 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 in the process to talk all things boron 🧪

Our latest publication from the group is out in J. Am. Chem. Soc. . Great collaboration with Allan Watson Lloyd-Jones Research Group and GSK exploring t why ynamines are great click substrates. Work is supported by The Leverhulme Trust GSK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Great work from former group member Matt Andrews within a fantastic team! Congratulations also to those from Burley Research Group, Lloyd-Jones Research Group, and GSK for providing fascinating mechanistic insights into ynamine-based CuAAC chemistry!

Congratulations to John McGuff and Marek Varga, as their work on the synthesis of complex BOBs via Rh-catalysed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition has been highlighted in Organic Process Research & Development! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

A new element makes its way into the Watson Group repertoire! Check out our first foray into the world of germanium in the context of CuAAC chemistry, in collaboration with Burley Research Group! The pre-print is available here on ChemRxiv: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

A fascinating dive into the chemistry of germanium. Thank you to colleagues, funding bodies, and collaborators who made this work possible. St Andrews School of Chemistry Burley Research Group St Andrews X-ray Crystallography

Fantastic day yesterday for the annual RSC Perkin Meeting meeting, this year at University of Dundee. Plenty of brilliant talks and posters, not least from our own Tim Hilton and Maria! Drug Discovery Unit St Andrews School of Chemistry

Many thanks to the organisers at OSSC 2024! There were many fascinating discussions on chemistry, as well as insightful early career advise! Group members Maria, Tim Hilton, and Tom presented their posters, with Masha picking up a poster prize! #OSSC2024

The rumours are true! Yesterday I passed my viva, concluding my time at St Andrews 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Thank you to all the mentors who have guided me and to all the colleagues on this journey with me. Now on to more chemistry…🧪
