Part two of special announcements for this year's POCC season! To close out this season, on May 21st we will be celebrating 80 years (!!!) of great seminars with a special symposium featuring multiple speakers including our to-be-selected POCC travel award winner! @JacobsenLab from @HarvardCCB will be our keynote academic speaker and @abbvie 's Eric Voight will be our keynote industrial speaker with @CptingLab from @brandeischem kicking us off as the early career investigator award lecturer. Afternoon appetizers and evening dinner will be provided as well as one-time only POCC swag (while supplies last). Thanks to all our sponsors over this year in helping make this happen! You don't want to miss this one!!!
Mark your calendars to help us celebrate 80 years of POCC by attending our 80th Anniversary Symposium on May 21st! We will be featuring multiple speakers from both industry and academia at this special session. We hope to see you there to finish off an amazing 2025-2026 season!

Our study on discovering cooperative catalysis is in print @Nature! With @JacobsenLab @eugene_e_kwan @Merck @RichrdLiu we use simple math-based pooling/deconvolution to uncover useful catalyst combinations with minimal experiments Read for free! rdcu.be/eN5i5

Excited to share our work, now published in JACS, on merging gold and chiral H-bond donor catalysis! Eric Jacobsen and I show that a chiral urea cocatalyst activates an achiral gold catalyst to enable asymmetric spirocyclization of naphthols. @JacobsenLab pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

Meet the Team: Andrew Yue (UIUC BS 2024, now grad student @JacobsenGroup) joined the MCWhite group as a freshman under mentorship of Brenna Budaitis. He merged C(sp3)H/N(sp2) cross-couplings with the Mori-Ban for a diversifiable synthesis of zafirlukast (Accolade).

The University of Chicago Department of Chemistry is honored to welcome Professor Eric Jacobsen, Sheldon Emery Professor of Chemistry at Harvard University, as the distinguished speaker for the Kharasch Lectures on April 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Prof. Jacobsen's work on asymmetric catalysis, particularly the development of catalysts like those used in the eponymous Jacobsen epoxidation and other widely adopted reactions, has had a profound impact on both academic research and industrial synthesis. His mechanistic insights have also advanced the fundamental principles of catalyst design. The Kharasch Lectures will provide a platform for Professor Jacobsen to share insights from his illustrious career. The lectures will span three days, each focusing on a different facet of his research.

Have you ever wondered how different substituents affect cation–π vs. π–π vs. CH–π vs. anion–π interactions? Well, now you can read all about it! Very excited to have this work with @Sigman_Lab and @JacobsenLab out in the world @JOC_OL #ACSEditorsChoice
A very exciting study from Jacquelyne Read, Eric Jacobsen, and Matthew Sigman in #JOrgChem: development of a computational library and automated analysis tool for assessing and predicting Noncovalent Interactions (NCIs). Selected for #EditorsChoice go.acs.org/bMV
