If you like total synthesis and Wordle, check out Synthordle, a retrosynthetic analysis game created by Shenvi Lab associates Kevin Zong (GS 2) and Jonah Luo (HS sophomore!).

Congrats to Dylan and Stephen for their method to glycosylate cotylenol and access 14-3-3 protein-client molecular glues! tinyurl.com/2y45ck4n
Donor linker design was aided by Stephen’s “autoDFT” and solved a common problem in terpenoid synthesis: contrasteric glycosylation.

In this paper, 3rd year graduate student 李春雨 (Chunyu Li) synthesized 25 natural products (!!) using a method of in silico library selection. Chunyu is a new type of student in our lab, having seamlessly blended calculation and synthesis.

This protocol saved my day a few years ago and works amazingly for even the trickiest olefin isomerisations!

Ever wanted 3 grams of (–)-humulene oxide II?
Neither did we. But OrgSyn came knocking and we couldn’t say no.

Thanks for checking, @sarah_reisman and Emily Chen!

#2: Had a blast collaborating with @BaranLabReads. Felt like old times. tinyurl.com/7heyrvka
We report a single catalyst that quaternizes 3° radicals derived from RAEs or olefins. Very simple conditions: iron, reductant, base.

2 papers posted today. #1 reports heterodimerization of benzyl radicals, generated and coupled by a single catalyst. tinyurl.com/2ej7zu3x
The iron complex engages an alkene in two outer-sphere steps, in contrast to inner-sphere steps of precious metals.
Congrats to the team!

On today's episode, I am joined by @Shenvi_Lab of @scrippsresearch! We talk natural product synthesis, metal-hydride hydrogen atom transfer, the large overlap between writing music and organic synthesis, and much more.

Happy Birthday to the original pioneer in supernatural products and fabulous colleague, Dale @BogerLab. This post is a day late, but his science is 20 years ahead of its time, so that makes us about even. Best wishes to a great colleague and friend.
