@TheNewmanLab had a fun time @qomsboc 2024. Thanks @diaogroupNYU for her valuable feedback and a shout out to @arefvaezghaemi for winning best oral presentation @ Piers for best poster. Celebrations continued thereafter. Big thanks to @RousseauxGroup for being a great organizer!

Common reactants, uncommon outcome. See how @czc_chem achieved atypical regioselectivity in the Mizoroki-Heck reaction of vinyl boronates in @JOC_OL

Thanks @PiyasChem and team! Looking forward to the next 10.

[Piyas Saha @PiyasChem]

Celebrating 10 years of @TheNewmanLab. Big thanks to @ Steve for giving all of us the opportunity to be part of this wonderful lab!

[Steve Newman @TheNewmanLab]

A huge effort led by recent PhD graduate Adam Cook, who just received a prestigious Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship. Good luck in the Wender group @StanfordUChem

Ni-catalyzed deoxygenative arylation of alcohols via an SN1-type mechanism thanks to the β-silicon effect and new wide bite angle NHC ligands. Now online in @JACS.

@gilian_thomas @UniversityLeeds Amazing! Can't wait to see what you discover.

[Steve Newman @TheNewmanLab]

Big congrats to the recent graduates!

[Piyas Saha @PiyasChem]

Congratulations to all @TheNewmanLab grads! @ Eric (PhD), @ Adam (PhD), @czc_chem (MSc), @ Hana (BSc Hons). #uOGrad2024 @uOttawaScience @uOttawaCHM

[Piyas Saha @PiyasChem]

Congrats @ Adam for a wonderful PhD defence followed by an awesome after party with the entire @TheNewmanLab. It was a great privilege working alongside you for the last two years!!!!

[Steve Newman @TheNewmanLab]

@thevanderwallab @pfizer Philipp certainly knows his stuff. Must have been well trained!

[Steve Newman @TheNewmanLab]

@JBYAO199368 Thanks! We find there's always new stuff to learn, even for seemingly simple chemistry.

[Steve Newman @TheNewmanLab]

Mizoroki-Heck reactions with cyclic enones are surprisingly difficult. Read our latest work in collaboration with @Pfizer in @ACSCatalysis to find out why.

@ChemRxiv Our review is now online @ACSChemRev (https://t.co/LnXyIbWGEn). Take a look to see some creative ways chemists have come up with to directly use alcohols in transition metal catalysis.

[Steve Newman @TheNewmanLab]

How can we better use feedstock molecules and avoid stoichiometric functional group interconversion steps? PhD student Adam Cook documents how catalysis can enable complexity-building reactions with alcohols, now on @ChemRxiv (https://t.co/EE51FyjMn2)

[Steve Newman @TheNewmanLab]

@awhspeed @JACS @RowleyGroup @jmblacquiere Thanks Alex. Like most things, the 'rules of thumb' here are not quite as universal or as rigorously constructed as we tend to think. It's quite a challenge to figure out exactly which Heck reactions work with high yield/selectivity and which ones don't.

[Steve Newman @TheNewmanLab]

Exceptional control of regioselectivity in the Mizoroki-Heck reaction enabled by P2N2 ligands now online @JACS. Great collaboration with @RowleyGroup, @jmblacquiere, and recent PhD graduate Eric Isbrandt . https://t.co/uofflNtd1b

[Steve Newman @TheNewmanLab]

Happy to see this in print! Take a look if you want to learn how to make P2N2 ligands and see what they can do.

[Gilian Thomas @gilian_thomas]

Great to see this out in @OrgSynth! https://t.co/IWyq5nBslo
Many thanks to Eric and Steve for their fantastic work on this project!!🙂 @TheNewmanLab

[Chemistry at Thieme @thiemechemistry]

@TheNewmanLab from the @uOttawaCHM presents a Ni/Bi dual-catalyzed method for the Suzuki–Miyaura arylation of tertiary alcohols. Find out more about his research 👉 https://t.co/MHo1mqv3nX

@gilian_thomas Thanks Gilian!

[Steve Newman @TheNewmanLab]

What an honour! Very thankful for the CSC for this wonderful award as well as all the students and postdocs I've had the pleasure to work with.

[Chemical Institute of Canada @CIC_ChemInst]

The Keith Fagnou Award is presented to a scientist residing in Canada who has made a distinguished contribution to organic chemistry while working in Canada. Congrats to Dr. Stephen Newman @TheNewmanLab of @UOttawa on being the recipient of this award. https://t.co/SPpsznw8O8
