Shining light on organic chemistry
Congratulations to @dmac68 and @ben_list, as well as to all members of @MacMillan_Lab and @ListLaboratory!!! Absolutely amazing time to be organic chemists #chemnobel #nobelprize2021BREAKING NEWS: The 2021 #NobelPrize in Chemistry has been awarded to Benjamin List and David W.C. MacMillan “for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis.”
- 17 years in the making.. We are super excited to finally achieve alcohol-alcohol cross-coupling enabled by the powerful SH2 radical sorting! Great work Jerry, Nick, Jay, James, Colin and Robert. Big shout out to our collaborator Jesus from Janssen Spain. science.org/doi/full/10.11…
- Have some free time this weekend? Check out this awesome @ACSChemRev issue on photocatalysis, including our review on metallaphotoredox. Grab some coffee and settle in for some "light" reading 💡 bit.ly/3HssNHa
- Check out our latest work in JACS— Access to a nucleophilic Fe(I) complex allows for activation of 1° electrophiles via an SN2-type mechanism. Subsequent SH2 bond formation enables all-carbon quaternary centers. Congrats Andria, Felix, Wei, and Marissa!
- We're hiring! We have several postdoc positions open for chemical biology research and proximity labeling in the MacMillan Lab. Experience in cell biology, biochemistry, molecular genetics, immunology, or related fields desired. DM us with your info and a CV/cover letter!
- Want to selectively couple two radicals?... You're in luck! Check out our newest work in Nature where we use dynamic orbital selection to unlock alkylation of native aryl C–H bonds. Congrats to @GrosskopfJo, Charlene, Robert, and Alex! Read more at: nature.com/articles/s4158…
- In 1895, Fischer & Speier reported the now widely-regarded C–O esterification reaction. Today in @J_A_C_S, we report an orthogonal approach to form C–C bonds. Check it out online: bit.ly/3LqBsLz Congrats @HoltSakai!!
- Check out our recent paper where we take diols and bromoalcohols to form strained bicyclic, fused, and spirocyclic compounds through a new concept, couple-close. Big thanks to our collaborators at Janssen Pharmaceuticals at Spring House! nature.com/articles/s4158…
- And you thought the olympics were cancelled? We just placed gold in the most catalytic cycles! #Tokyo2020 #cycling #dadjokes #davemademewritethis Check out our latest collab with the @HysterLab! science.sciencemag.org/content/369/65…
- We’re hiring a postdoc in collaboration with J&J! The position will be split between our lab and J&J’s Spring House site. We’re looking for someone with a strong chemistry background ideally with expertise in photochemistry and developing photocatalysts. jj.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/JJ/job/Spring-…
- Interested in metallaphotoredox catalysis? Check out our @ACSChemRev review on how the merger of photoredox and transition metal catalysis is transforming the way we think about assembling organic molecules. Congrats to Ian, @chanamy09 and the whole team!
