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!). rshenvi.github.io/synthordle… Coming to @scrippsresearch Chemical Synthesis class in Winter ’25.

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. Take a look: tinyurl.com/mryjxh2w

Meet Stephan Freeman, #ARCSScholar @Shenvi_Lab @scrippsresearch where he is helping to develop new tools to access ‘natural product space,’ compounds typified by cellular metabolites. Stephan will be honored at our 2024 SOY Celebration in April. More info: san-diego.arcsfoundation.org…

I feel very honored to be recognized with this Rising Star Award. It would not have been possible without help from fantastic students, postdocs, collaborators, and colleagues.
Dr. Andrew Riley has been named the UIC Rising Star in Basic Life Sciences. Awardees will be honored at a ceremony on Wednesday, April 17 at the Field Museum. The ceremony is part of the inaugural UIC Research Week. Congratulations Dr. Riley!

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. orgsyn.org/Content/pdfs/proc… Thanks for checking, @sarah_reisman and Emily Chen! #tbt Original gram-scale protocol in our JACS 2014 16788 paper.

#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.
