If you’re attending #NOS2022 tonight, I’ll be presenting a poster on my work (#23) and would love to chat!

Congrats to Logan Bartholomew on his best poster award at #NOS2022!!

Excited to get this work out! Check out my inaugural first author paper on our method for the conversion of pyrimidine to pyrazole a out now in J. Am. Chem. Soc..

We miss you (and your bagels) already 😭! 837 isn’t the same without you. Best of luck starting your PhD soon!

Congratulations to Sojung Kim on her Perspective in Science ( science.org/doi/epdf/10.11… ) on the Zuo groups latest paper in Science (science.org/doi/epdf/10.11…)

Our azine N-isotope exchange is out now in J. Am. Chem. Soc.! Excited to share this story with a few twists in the Sarpong Group with the Sigman Lab and Charles Yeung from #MerckChemistry. Big thanks to Samantha Kraus BS, Lucas Karas, and this awesome team. bit.ly/15Nie

Sojung Kim’s mechanistic investigation of photomediated ring contractions of N-aryl saturated heterocycles with Henrik Schwarz and Justin in collaboration with the zuerchlab and our collaborators from Abbvie and Merck is in J. Am. Chem. Soc. ! pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.10…

My total synthesis of baphicacanthcusine A is out now in Angewandte Chemie. It has been a fascinating journey learning about these unique molecules and I’m really proud to tell this story! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

We’re excited to share our quantitative assessment of the potential impact of skeletal edits, now on ChemRxiv! This cheminformatic platform was developed with Lucas Karas from Sigman Lab and Reilly Eason & Charles Yeung at #MerckChemistry. tinyurl.com/yc4jev9k

Exciting to see this chemistry finally out! Brandon Wright was an excellent mentor when I briefly joined him on this project as a UC Berkeley Amgen scholar summer undergrad back in 2019 🎉 congrats to the whole team

To round out our work on these photomediated ring contractions of saturated heterocycles, I'm excited to share this collaborative story about uncovering interesting enantioselectivity trends in this system, out now in J. Am. Chem. Soc.!

We're proud to announce chemistry major Kueyoung Kim has received the Churchill Scholarship, which funds American students for a year-long master's study in science, math, and engineering at Cambridge University He is the third #PennStater to earn this award! science.psu.edu/news/chemistry…

Congrats to Logan Bartholomew, Sojung Kim, Yusuke and collaborators Macroarc, Gilead Sciences, Merck on our indazole to benzimidazole conversion  onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an… coordinated with Leonori Lab  onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Our study detailing indazole-to-benzimidazole phototransposition is out now in Angewandte Chemie together with related work from Leonori Lab! This has been a fun project to lead, and it’s been my privilege to work with this awesome team. Read below! (1/2) bit.ly/3Q1Uix9

Congrats to Logan Bartholomew & collaborators Lucas Karas (Sigman Lab) & Reilly & Charles Yeung (Merck) on the publication of our work on a cheminformatic analysis of core-atom transformations in pharmaceutically relevant heteroaromatics in J. Med. Chem. tinyurl.com/42re37pd

Congratulations to Sojung Kim, Charis Amber, and Logan Bartholomew on the publication of their Accounts of Chemical Research paper on our group's skeletal editing work, which, at its core, is inspired by total synthesis! pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.10…
