In deepest grief, the Laboratory of Organic Chemistry at @ETH_DCHAB at @ETH_en announces that our friend and colleague, Prof. em. Albert Eschenmoser passed away peacefully, at the age of 97, on July 14, 2023. Albert #Eschenmoser shaped organic chemistry as did few others. 1/3

What if you could push the limits of electrochemistry without breaking your electrodes? #alternatingpolarity Thanks @BaranLabReads @YuKawamata @KaidHarper and the @abbvie team for this inspiring collaboration An incredible journey made possible by @MSCActions #realtimechem
Simple, Kg-Scale Electrochemical Decarboxylative Olefination appearing today in @ChemRxiv (chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv…) with Abbvie (@KaidHarper) facilitated by Alternating Polarity...

So proud of my best friend. What an amazing story 🤩 Congrats @__simonalisa__
4 years, 27 failed routes, and 95 trips to the eucalyptus grove later *disclaimer: numbers adjusted for inflation 🙃 Thankful to the whole team @Shenvi_Lab

Happy to share on ChemRxiv our stereoselective synthesis of (–)-eugenial C via MHAT/SH2 iron catalysis. tinyurl.com/578mp2d8 It took trial and error, rational design and even a little citizen science to locally source our starting material (thanks @SDNHM Plant Atlas!!).

Congrats buddy! Really happy for you and excited to follow your next steps :)
Delighted to announce that I'll start my research group @WeizmannScience this fall. It's been an amazing journey and can’t wait for what the future holds. Many thanks to my fantastic advisors @BaranLabReads and @ShabatGroup for their unconditional support through all the years.

The final version of this highly collaborative work @NSF_CSOE has appeared today in @Nature : rdcu.be/cOjJj -- Check it out as there is a ton of new data that was added since last year!

HAT: Electrified -- Appearing today in @ChemRxiv (bit.ly/38a3ppF). In one of our largest collaborations to date @NSF_CSOE the discovery, development, and comprehensive mechanistic interrogation of silane/peroxide free HAT chemistry is disclosed.

A lizard can even run on water if legs move fast enough. Check out our latest work to find out what is enabled if electrode polarity is alternated fast enough!
Chemoselective e-Birch (no metals, no amines), enabled by rapid alternating polarity (rAP). Scalable and cheap (with help from @abbvie), providing reduced (hetero)arenes previously hard to access. Appearing today in @ChemRxiv (bit.ly/3BL64Us).
