Gio, George & Luca got to pull the science lever today with UBC Chemistry Brian Ditchburn. We need a little custom glass reactor vessel for a plasma project. Thankfully a super-skilled glass arist is on campus. Here he shows how thin glass can be blown - until it pops! Thanks Brian!
Do you need a crazy efficient method for carrying out SP2-SP3 Suzuki reactions? Check out this work by Kristy, Josh and Tristan. By understanding and tuning the "halide inhibition" effect we report an amazing general procedure. UBC Chemistry Acceleration Consortium (AC) nature.com/articles/s4146…
This has been a long time in the making! A great collaboration with the Kulik Group as part of MONET-CCI at Michigan Chemistry Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and University of British Columbia - overcoming inherent challenges in the photochemical excitation of acyclic imines! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Chemists at #UBC, MIT and University of Michigan have overcome a major hurdle in synthesizing a more stable form of heterocycle. The findings could help drug developers improve the safety profiles of medications SchindlerLab UBC Chemistry science.ubc.ca/news/july-07-2…
