WIPOS 2024, an excellent conference in Hawaii, Featuring a mix of established, early career, and industrial chemistry. Highly recommended!! Organized by Laszlo Kurti

Outstanding conference that I highly recommend! Very well organized by Laszlo Kurti and a great mix of faculty, postdocs, and students of all career stages. A ton of top notch science with a limited number of participants (~150) that allows for personal interaction with everyone.

#ICIQTalent 🗣️Excited to announce that Prof. Echavarren Lab will be one of the speakers at ASTS-NDM 2024 in Paris, 2-4 Oct! He will join renowned chemists including Feringa Lab, Morten Meldal, K.C. Nicolaou, and Barry Sharpless Register🔗riceglobalparisorganicsynthesis.org

Direct olefin difunctionalization using anomeric amides, without catalysts & additives! The products, MultiFunctional HydroxylAmines (MFHAs), are building blocks for the synthesis of complex amines. Kudos to Young-Do Young Do Kwon & Daniel Daniel Joaquin! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

New cover art for a metal-free method developed by Laszlo Kurti to directly install N-groups and halogens across alkene π-systems using MFHA reagents! The Kurti Group ⌬ Fun With Chemistry: Rice University Chapter #sciart ⌬ #research ⌬ #chemistry

Welcome to Rice, Dave!

Excited to share our latest research on organoiodine-catalyzed arene C(sp2)-H amination! This robust, metal-free method efficiently produces structurally novel 2-quinolones. Kudos to Tamal (Tamal Kanti Das) and Arghya (Arghya Ghosh)! #GreenChemistry chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

The Kürti lab has developed a diastereoselective method to create complex β-lactams with dual functional handles. This innovation opens up new possibilities in drug development. Read the accepted manuscript: doi.org/10.1039/D4SC01…. Congrats to Agustin Rodriguez and the whole team!
