Happy Tuesday from our rising 5th years, Will and Kimberly Alley! Another beautiful day at #NOS2022 to hear some great science!

All hail HFIP!! Congrats AubeLab !

Happy to share my groups latest approach to obtain “orphaned” cyclopropanes out now in JACS J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Thank you @UNCResearch for the profile on our recent graduate, Dr. Pedro de Jesús Cruz (@pedro1215_ ), and our laboratory's research! Pedro has been an awesome role model, and it's great to see his accomplishments recognized! Read the article here: research.unc.edu/2022/08/11/inv…

Check out our lab's newest paper in J. Am. Chem. Soc. on stereoconvergent Henry reactions! Access to fully-substituted nitrogen-bearing stereocenters is possible using CIDT principles. This is our first follow-up paper to our CIDT work published in Science earlier this year.

As promised we are launching the Dave Evans Problem Set Generator. This contains all of the problems hosted in his original service, with some modernization and streamlining. organicchemistrydata.org/evans/problems/ questions/suggestions: organicdivision.org/contact/

4 days until our Twitter Spaces Discussion! We’re hosting ⌬ anna davis! ⌬, André K Isaacs, & Dr Aamir Hussain to share advice on how to survive & thrive in grad school. Come with questions or share your own advice. Set a reminder to join us: ms.spr.ly/6016jvIge

A mechanism problem featuring research from my undergraduate lab… This is work that @sarah_reisman conducted while she was a student at Connecticut College. Ovaska lab represent 😎!

Stream #TSmidnighTS by Taylor Swift at midnight & read our lab's latest paper while you wait!

Brought my lab cupcakes today but they have to stream #TSmidnighTS by Taylor Swift to have one 🧁🕰️👀 Swiftie chemists rise up !

Happy Saturday y’all! Check out our lab’s latest paper out now in J Org Chem/Org Lett with your morning coffee: a dearomative o-semidine rearrangement for the synthesis of spirocyclic tetrahydroquinolines!! Congrats Bob Wiley and Michael! Read it here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Happy New Year! This paper is now out in Synthesis! Read it here: thieme-connect.com/products/ejour…

What constitutes a step in synthetic chemistry? Read our PI’s thoughts on this topic here!

Come join us at Connecticut College in New London CT on May 4 for the 5th Annual Symposium on Applied Synthesis! ChemBio in focus with Keynotes from Dan Nomura and @drcmwoo. Speakers from #PfizerChemistry Arvinas and #MerckChemistry - submit a poster on your research too! @ACS_CVS

Hot off the presses: an Account on new reactions developed in our labs driven by strategic N-O bond cleavage! Check it out here: thieme-connect.de/products/ejour… Congrats team!

Please help us support Magnus Pauly on his path to recovery from a brain tumor he was diagnosed with recently. Magnus will undergo surgery tomorrow. Let's keep Magnus and Liana in our thoughts and do everything we can to support them GoFundMe link: gofund.me/eba2e8f6

Snow in my North Carolina yard in March is a little weird but I’ll take it ☃️

ICYMI: Our lab's latest publication is out in ACS Catalysis ! Diastereoselective synthesis of ß-dicarbonyls was realized via a CIDT-controlled Mannich reaction. Check it out here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Congrats Will and Evan!

ICYMI: (1/5) The Johnson lab’s publications from this summer – recapped! Starting with a review out in Science Advances, check out how chemicals’ physical properties can play an important role in organic reaction design! Check it out here: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Congrats, Will!
