Very excited to make our latest group trip to #BSM2023 - so happy to see the meeting return, and with such a strong line-up of speakers!

[Ed Anderson Group 🇺🇦 @EdAndersonGroup]

Thanks @RWTH Aachen for a great new year symposium with @Schoenebeck_Lab @LeonoriLab @ACSpiveyGroup and thanks to our hosts / organising committee / ⁦@Bayer⁩

[D-CHAB @ETH_DCHAB]

Scientists led by Bill Morandi @morandilab #LOC developed a simple method for converting the #indole group into other important structural elements. This facilitates the search for pharmaceutically active substances. Read more on:

@stuartcantrill Loving this format

[Spivey Group @ACSpiveyGroup]

Directed evolution engineers an enzyme to catalyse the asymmetric alkylation of ketones - a nice read with some interesting mechanistic discussion from @francesarnold in @angew_chem: https://t.co/lGrGyXAney

[Spivey Group @ACSpiveyGroup]

Great paper from the Balasubramanian group at @ChemCambridge in @NatureChemistry on probing the interactome of G-quadruplexes using co-binding-mediated protein profiling: https://t.co/xvQJWoAVOm

[Spivey Group @ACSpiveyGroup]

This morning we're talking about the novel idea of skeletal editing by N-atom deletion, discussing the interesting approaches from @group_levin at @UChiChemistry in @Nature (https://t.co/S4iVb4bVqq) and the Lu Group at Nanjing University in @angew_chem (https://t.co/Ld5hPy0kaG)!

Hot off the press! Check out our Mechanism of the Month piece on MIDA-Directed meta-Selective C-H Functionalizations in @TrendsChemistry - from @josh_linfoot and Alex Williams: https://t.co/LmV2i27ejI

[Bull Group Chemistry @jamesabull]

New #PhD #studentship sponsored by AstraZeneca available in my group in collaboration with @BeckyLGreenaway and @ACSpiveyGroup on C–H functionalisation. Funding at UK levels. Interested candidates please get in contact by email.

[Spivey Group @ACSpiveyGroup]

Congratulations @HerzonLab for your total asymmetric synthesis of the Celastraceae natural product core euonyminol in @J_A_C_S. Super impressive! Look forward to seeing one of the cathedulin bis-macrocycles yielding to chemical synthesis soon. ACS

[Synthesis Workshop @MatthewHorwitz1]

In this week's episode we're joined by @bauer_adriano (alumnus of the Arion group, Gentilucci and @ACSpiveyGroup, @MaulideLab and postdoc at @BaranLabReads) who takes us through his work on cyclopropanation by oxidative umpolung published in @angew_chem! https://t.co/iklUyL3GaF

[Spivey Group @ACSpiveyGroup]

Brønsted acid-catalysed enantioselective reactions that proceed through the non-classical 2-norbornyl carbocation - awesome paper from @ListLaboratory and co-workers at the Max Planck Institute in @NatureChemistry: https://t.co/CWWgtQoEqo

[Spivey Group @ACSpiveyGroup]

Individual resonances in overlapping multiplets can now be selectively excited in NOESY experiments using the rapid GEMSTONE approach, developed by Peter Kiraly, @ralphwadams and colleagues at @UoMChemistry in @angew_chem: https://t.co/VDMo4soIl3

[Spivey Group @ACSpiveyGroup]

A newly optimized iodoarene catalyst for the enantioselective synthesis of difluorinated alkyl bromides, with supporting computational studies - nice work from @JacobsenLab and colleagues at @HarvardCCB in @J_A_C_S: https://t.co/dKRDN8rxLM

[Spivey Group @ACSpiveyGroup]

Enjoyed yesterday’s #Collaboration2020 virtual event at @SyngentaUK featuring a poster from our very own Josh Linfoot - looking forward to an excellent day two!
