Hydroalkylation of Vinylarenes by Transition-Metal-Free In Situ Generation of Benzylic Nucleophiles Using Tetramethyldisiloxane and Potassium tert-Butoxide (Stephen G. Newman and co-workers) @TheNewmanLab #openaccess 🔓 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

@TheNewmanLab had a fun time @qomsboc 2024. Thanks @diaogroupNYU for her valuable feedback and a shout out to @arefvaezghaemi for winning best oral presentation @ Piers for best poster. Celebrations continued thereafter. Big thanks to @RousseauxGroup for being a great organizer!
Common reactants, uncommon outcome. See how @czc_chem achieved atypical regioselectivity in the Mizoroki-Heck reaction of vinyl boronates in @JOC_OL

Thanks @PiyasChem and team! Looking forward to the next 10.
Celebrating 10 years of @TheNewmanLab. Big thanks to @ Steve for giving all of us the opportunity to be part of this wonderful lab!
Ni-catalyzed deoxygenative arylation of alcohols via an SN1-type mechanism thanks to the β-silicon effect and new wide bite angle NHC ligands. Now online in @JACS.

A huge effort led by recent PhD graduate Adam Cook, who just received a prestigious Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship. Good luck in the Wender group @StanfordUChem
Big congrats to the recent graduates!
Congratulations to all @TheNewmanLab grads! @ Eric (PhD), @ Adam (PhD), @czc_chem (MSc), @ Hana (BSc Hons). #uOGrad2024 @uOttawaScience @uOttawaCHM

Congrats @ Adam for a wonderful PhD defence followed by an awesome after party with the entire @TheNewmanLab. It was a great privilege working alongside you for the last two years!!!!
Mizoroki-Heck reactions with cyclic enones are surprisingly difficult. Read our latest work in collaboration with @Pfizer in @ACSCatalysis to find out why.

How can we better use feedstock molecules and avoid stoichiometric functional group interconversion steps? PhD student Adam Cook documents how catalysis can enable complexity-building reactions with alcohols, now on @ChemRxiv (dx.doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv…)
Our review is now online @ACSChemRev (doi.org/10.1021/acs.chemrev.…). Take a look to see some creative ways chemists have come up with to directly use alcohols in transition metal catalysis.
Exceptional control of regioselectivity in the Mizoroki-Heck reaction enabled by P2N2 ligands now online @JACS. Great collaboration with @RowleyGroup, @jmblacquiere, and recent PhD graduate Eric Isbrandt . doi.org/10.1021/jacs.3c14612

Happy to see this in print! Take a look if you want to learn how to make P2N2 ligands and see what they can do.

Great to see this out in @OrgSynth! orgsyn.org/demo.aspx?prep=v1…
Many thanks to Eric and Steve for their fantastic work on this project!!🙂 @TheNewmanLab

@TheNewmanLab from the @uOttawaCHM presents a Ni/Bi dual-catalyzed method for the Suzuki–Miyaura arylation of tertiary alcohols. Find out more about his research 👉 brnw.ch/21wGnSQ
What an honour! Very thankful for the CSC for this wonderful award as well as all the students and postdocs I've had the pleasure to work with.
The Keith Fagnou Award is presented to a scientist residing in Canada who has made a distinguished contribution to organic chemistry while working in Canada. Congrats to Dr. Stephen Newman @TheNewmanLab of @UOttawa on being the recipient of this award. buff.ly/3RZla1c
Congrats to Eric on his successful PhD defense! Eric's latest work on using P2N2 ligands to control regioselectivity in the Mizoroki-Heck reaction is now available on @ChemRxiv (doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-20…)
Come join the team! Our lab @uOttawaCHM is hiring PhD students and PDFs for 2024. Those interested in organic synthesis and catalysis are encouraged to apply. More details at newmanlab.ca/recruiting
