Hot off the presses! C-H activation by uranium oxo photocatalysis--now made site-selective by ligand control. Longer lifetimes. Higher activity. All possible with blue light. In collaboration with the lab of @ProfArno. Now in JACS: doi.org/10.1021/jacs.6c01402

The newest update to @SynStrategy is live, bringing a top requested feature: a quiz function! Save reactions to custom datasets and test your knowledge across 3 quiz or flashcard formats. Check it out! iOS: apps.apple.com/de/app/synstr… Android: play.google.com/store/apps/d… #ChemTwitter

This is fantastic!

Our postdoc @Willi_Amberg built @SynStrategy a learning tool that categorizes 500 reactions by functional group with 400 total synthesis examples. If you’re into #OrgChem, check it out (it’s free)! iOS: apps.apple.com/de/app/synstr… Android: play.google.com/store/apps/d… #ChemTwitter

#AmBeedNewsletter ✨ Recently, the Hartwig Group (@HartwigGroup) reported an inexpensive, mild, and soluble base suitable for small & large scales with excellent functional group tolerance. This work has been published in @J_A_C_S. 💡Key Highlights ✅ New L147/K‑2‑EH system enables mild and efficient C–N coupling of diverse amines with aryl halides/nonaflates. ✅ Excellent tolerance for base-sensitive functional groups. ✅ Over 6,000 substrates analyzed; 28 nucleophile and 16 electrophile clusters mapped. ✅ QSRR models identify key structural features for reactivity. The author mentioned in supporting information that some of the starting materials were purchased from AmBeed. We are honored to contribute to this groundbreaking research. 📚🔻 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐝 ambeed.com/newsdetail/JohnHa… #OrganicChemistry #PdCatalysis #MedicinalChemistry #DrugDiscovery #AmBeed #UTD #JACS
