- Core modification is an open-and-shut case! Congrats to Justin and @SojungKim20, and #MerckChemistry collaborators, Dr. Lux, @yhcolin, @adpressa, and @Charles_chem for their work on a ring contraction of saturated heterocycles now in @ScienceMagazine science.sciencemag.org/content/early/…
- Cut it out! @gloganb and Filippo's publication of a formal deletion of carbon to convert pyrimidines to pyrazoles is out in @J_A_C_S pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
- For #BlackinOrganic we're highlighting the man himself... Richmond! His favorite purification technique: "I have always loved slow flash columns because you can still read papers between collecting fractions" He wants to thank the group from 2004-today!! sarponggroup.com
