'26 starts with a great news!!!
Excited to share our latest work just now published in @JOC_OL (@ACSPublications )
Here, we have developed a protocol for the Hydrothiocarbonylation of alkynes under photochemical conditions.

#1 The first PhD🎓🎉
@PinkuprasadM has successfully defended his PhD thesis, becoming the first PhD graduate from our group — a defining milestone for us.
Sincere thanks to Prof. Volla @ChandraVolla (for conducting the viva) & Prof. Engle @kearyengle for evaluating his thesis .
SN2′-Type Alkylation of gem-Dichlorocyclobutenones with Organotrifluoroborates Enabled by Organophotoredox Catalysis (@TheSahooGroup): https://t.co/BXpFXiV5Z5 (@JOC_OL).
Dr. Basudev Sahoo (School of Chemistry) has been awarded the "Merck Young Scientist Award 2025 (Runner-Up)" in the scientific excellence category by Merck Life Science, India.
Hearty congratulations!
Our new paper is out in @J_A_C_S ! We developed a photo/electrochemical carbonylative ring expansion that turns cyclic carboxylic acids into lactams, lactones, and thiolactones via ketyl radical SCS. Congrats Hiroki, Mayu and the team! https://t.co/i7FHpTTFCD
Our recent work,
“SN2′-Type Alkylation of gem-Dichlorocyclobutenones with Organotrifluoroborates Enabled by Organophotoredox Catalysis,”
is now online in @JOC_OL
Thanks to Dr. Debdutta Chakraborty for the DFT studies.

Postdoc time is often harder than PhD.
You have little time. Competition is higher. And you MUST stand out.
+ Your contract may end any moment.
+ Your salary is often low (for your age/education).
+ You’ve just relocated and prepare to relocate again.
No wonder that Max Planck Society survey showed that depression and anxiety of postdocs is rising.
Interestingly, Max Planck Institutes have substantial internal funding. So, in theory there should be less pressure to apply for grants, and everyone should be enjoying science. And yet the pressure on postdocs is immense.
📍 Many postdocs want to stay in academia.
They want to apply for faculty positions or become senior scientists.
Some of them achieve it. Others don’t.
❗️Why things don’t work out:
In a recent workshop Q&A session, I discussed various scenarios and behind-the-scenes processes that PhD students should keep in mind if they’re considering a postdoc:
“Postdocs: Competition, Hardship and Faculty Positions”

(I’ll appreciate if you ‘like’ this video - you will GREATLY help it reach more students.)
Happy to share that our work on azidation and cyanation has been featured on Organic Chemistry Portal (https://t.co/9hLZexUviB).
Grateful for the recognition.
Feel free to have a look!!!
