Delighted to announce Sophie Rousseaux is to receive tenure and promotion to Associate Professor. Rousseaux has been with Chemistry at UofT since 2015 and in that time has established an active research program while being an outstanding lecturer and mentor. chemistry.utoronto.ca/news/sophie-ro…

Congrats to my amazing teammate and friend Nathan Dao for passing his candidacy today!☺️

We're excited to see our 10-step (12-day) syntheses of (+) and (–)-collybolide appear today in ACS Central Science. tinyurl.com/2p9azuws Solving this synthetic puzzle led to an important correction of the scientific record. @sohphs Scripps Research Graduate Program 1/6

Today on Synthesis Workshop, Eleanor M Landwehr Scripps Research Shenvi Lab joins us to share her work on the total synthesis of GB22, GB13, and himgaline! Episode: youtu.be/G3WnjqBwsac Science Magazine 2022, 6586, 1270-1274. doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

Excited to share these medicinal chemistry insights with the community! lnkd.in/gCRjEDnw #drugdiscovery #magicchloro #medchem #organicchemistry

From deskmates to co-authors with Mike West 🏳️‍🌈! Our latest paper using Ni-catalyzed reductive coupling to synthesize 1-arylcyclopropylamines is up on ChemRxiv. If you like triangles, this one's for you 😄📐 @RousseauxGroup chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Still obsessed with how it turned out 🎃🌼

The 2021 Organic Chemistry Editors' Choice Award was awarded to Ryan Shenvi and co-workers Shenvi Lab for their paper in #TetLett on cobalt-catalyzed alkene hydrogenation. Congratulations! 🥳 Read the winning paper here: bit.ly/EdChoice2021Org #cobalt #catalysis #hydrogenation

The 1st paper from our collaboration with Engle Lab is online! We report the Ni-catalyzed isomerization of terminal alkene. This work was funded by @INC_CNRS. Congrats to all involved especially @CamZRub who initiated the work SCORE Lab doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

The Keith Fagnou Award is presented to a scientist residing in Canada who has made a distinguished contribution to organic chemistry while working in Canada. Congrats to Dr. Sophie Rousseaux @RousseauxGroup of University of Toronto on being the recipient of this award. buff.ly/3D9YzZf

Got Nitrogen? A concise enantioselective synthesis of the marine-derived alkaloid KB343 is disclosed today in ChemRxiv: bit.ly/3SoRMkQ.

Come join us for an awesome poster session next Tuesday at #ACSSpring2023 highlighting some fantastic early-career women in chemistry, including my former lab mate Sarah Hill from the Shenvi Lab!! ACS Organic Division MidWest EWOC #WomenInSTEM

Interested in new highly potent and selective kappa-opioid receptor agonists? Fan of natural product synthesis? Check out a poster from Sarah Hill and Nathan Dao on salvinorin A and a talk by Stone Woo on GB18. #ACS2023 #ACSIndy

Happy to share on ChemRxiv our stereoselective synthesis of (–)-eugenial C via MHAT/SH2 iron catalysis. tinyurl.com/578mp2d8 It took trial and error, rational design and even a little citizen science to locally source our starting material (thanks The Nat Plant Atlas!!).

Pleased to announce that my article "Hybrid Functionalism and Legitimate Political Authority" has been accepted for publication at the Journal of Political Philosophy!

So happy this is finally published and so thankful I got to work with Nathan Dao and Shenvi Lab on this project!

Fall fashions have arrived. Inner-sphere is out, outer-sphere is in. A new ACS Publications Accounts from Simona Kotesova summarizes our group's development of first-row metal catalysis to enable fragment coupling en route to bioactive natural products. tinyurl.com/bde8pfs4

Hi all, I am running for the member-at-large position in this years Division of Organic Chemistry Elections! If you’re a member of the DOC, check out the ballot to find short biographies and personal statements for each exceptional candidate. I encourage you to vote!

Hi Chemtwitter! On Sept. 22, I will be cycling 100 km to raise money for cancer research and treatment access, if you would like to donate to support this cause it would be greatly appreciated! A few dollars goes a long way, thank you! 😊 See link below: secure.acsevents.org/site/STR?fr_id…
