Thanks Vy! Been a fantastic graduate experience 😁 excited for what’s coming next!

[VyDong @Vy_Dong_Group]

Congrats to the newly minted Dr ⁦@HannahSlocumb5⁩! So proud of all you’ve achieved and excited for your future with ⁦@Sigman_Lab⁩! 🍾🎉🎈

[Hannah Slocumb @HannahSlocumb5]

Had so much fun at the Natural Products and Bioactive Molecules GRS! Heard about some amazing science and got to share some of my own 😁 coincidentally there’s a Slocumb Hall here at the campus! Looking forward to the GRC!

[Hannah Slocumb @HannahSlocumb5]

Had a great time at @EWOC8 2023 with some of the women of the Dong lab! Lovely to hear about so much fantastic chemistry 😁 @josie_warnica @ErinKuker @xintong_hou @SophiaXu06 @antoinettexchem

[VyDong @Vy_Dong_Group]

Thanks @mramirez9409 for spending the day @UCIChemistry as the inaugural speaker in our Future Leaders Seminar—here’s Dr Rameriz with other future leaders 😀 @lissathechemist

[Hannah Slocumb @HannahSlocumb5]

@Stilbene27 Thanks Calvin! Glad you enjoyed it 😁 unfortunately the nose hasn’t totally been given a break but hopefully our next smelly article is out soon!

[Hannah Slocumb @HannahSlocumb5]

Excited to share my first first author paper! If you’ve ever wanted to enantioselectively add a selenol to a styrene, we’ve got great news for you 😁

[VyDong @Vy_Dong_Group]

What's MORE stinky and LESS fun than thiols 🦨?! Congrats @HannahSlocumb5 @NieShaozhen and Xiaohui on first asymmetric coupling of selenols and styrenes: https://t.co/MuI7lZQ4X6

[Hannah Slocumb @HannahSlocumb5]

Also to any people looking at graduate admissions in a few years, I highly recommend accepting Calvin!!

[Hannah Slocumb @HannahSlocumb5]

So awesome working with Calvin this summer! I was constantly impressed with his chemistry knowledge and enthusiasm, and sad that he already has to go back to school! Excited to see where he goes from here, I know he’s going to do great things 😁

[Calvin Goldsmith @Stilbene27]

It was an honor to work with @HannahSlocumb5 this summer in the @Vy_Dong_Group! She’s super smart, funny and hardworking. I appreciate all of the advice she gave me during my time at UCI, and I hope and know she’ll earn that Ph.D. very soon! Also, I know that I suck at posing.

[Hannah Slocumb @HannahSlocumb5]

Met some really amazing people at #LINO22 (not all pictured!) definitely an unforgettable experience that I highly recommend 😁

[Hannah Slocumb @HannahSlocumb5]

Very excited and honored to have been chosen to represent UC at the Lindau Nobel conference! Big thanks to @Vy_Dong_Group for all the help and support getting to this point 😊

[UCI Chemistry @UCIChemistry]

Congratulations to FIVE of our students and post-docs who were chosen as Promising young scholars to represent the @UofCalifornia at Nobel conference in Germany. Congratulations to @DanielKeefer_, @BingGu8, @AndrewCypcar, @AoonRizvi, and @HannahSlocumb5! https://t.co/VZp5WVI9fI

[Hannah Slocumb @HannahSlocumb5]

Stop by to check out some awesome selenium chemistry 😁

[VyDong @Vy_Dong_Group]

Check out @HannahSlocumb5 poster tonight #ACSSpring2022

[Hannah Slocumb @HannahSlocumb5]

@ThuyPham0815 @Vy_Dong_Group Thanks Thuy! I haven’t tried one with R2=Cl, but I imagine it’d work similarly since Cl-substituted pyrazoles do work in our reaction. For ja/ka, the oxygen of the furan could competitively bind to the Pd center and promote off-cycle complexes, decreasing reactivity/yield.

[Hannah Slocumb @HannahSlocumb5]

Check out my #RSCPoster on our enantioselective addition of pyrazoles to dienes! A fun project in @Vy_Dong_Group lab published last year in ACIE https://t.co/R8DIwXdNni #RSCOrg

[Hannah Slocumb @HannahSlocumb5]

@basker25071980 @Vy_Dong_Group Thank you! The 1,2-selectivity is likely due to a higher preference for the pi allyl to put the pi conjugation next to the arene ring (1,4-addition is the major regioisomer for the cyclohexane substrate!). It’s also possible that sterics affects the pyrazole attack too.

[Hannah Slocumb @HannahSlocumb5]

@weiyangma @Vy_Dong_Group Thank you! I believe outside of cyclohexadiene 1,4-disubstituted dienes didn’t work well, unfortunately.

[Hannah Slocumb @HannahSlocumb5]

@Dr_Dani_AR @Vy_Dong_Group @JAWSChem Sure! Feel free to DM me for contact info 😊

[Hannah Slocumb @HannahSlocumb5]

@chemistfromIND @Vy_Dong_Group Thank you! I’m not totally sure as to the reason, but my immediate thought is that the oxygen of the furan could competitively bind to the Pd center and promote off-cycle complexes, decreasing reactivity/yield.

[Erin Kuker @ErinKuker]

Super excited to share my work with @NieShaozhen and Alexander Lu on the enantioselective hydrothiolation of cyclopropenes! Feel free to check out the paper in JACS or ask any questions for more information. #RSCPoster #RSCOrg https://t.co/pkkjt1HXo0

[Hannah Slocumb @HannahSlocumb5]

@ndchiappini @Vy_Dong_Group Hahahaha I bet! One of the joys of chemistry is working with smelly compounds 🥲

[Xintong Hou @xintong_hou]

#RSCPoster I am really excited to share about our work "Enantioselective Addition of Nitroester to Alkynes"

[Hannah Slocumb @HannahSlocumb5]

@ndchiappini @Vy_Dong_Group Definitely! I’m sure it would work too 😁
