This idea was especially inspired by the really cool work on halogen transfer done by fellow @CSBSJU alumnus Jeff Bandar, who’s research I’ve always thought was really exciting and creative! I was hyped to apply that work in the continuing Roberts group arynes lineage.

Really hyped to share my latest work in grad school focusing on a fun difunctionalization of arynes! @robertsgroupumn we show halogen transfer can install halogens competitive to protons! Thanks to the team @CortnieRoberts and our awesome undergrad Lars!.

Methods for aryne difunctionalization have been the focus of recent research, but one limitation is the use of nucleophiles with proton sources. Herein, we demonstrate the use of halogen transfer...

I found out the other day that there are multiple ways people pronounce “ORCID” and 1) I am shook, but 2) what does #ChemTwitter do?? Asking for science.

Q for #ChemTwitter, any magic advice out there on removing PhCN from a reaction? Trying to see if it’s my magic solvent, and it’s not making it easy. Maybe the DMF tricks with LiCl or #TeamHeptane azeotrope can help? #RealTimeChem.

1 or 2 e-; get a catalyst that can do both! We’ve now expanded the reactivity of Sc catalysts to include radical-polar crossover. Excited it’s out now, and truly honored to have learned so much from @belli_roman and @CortnieRoberts in this project!.
2 e-, or not 2 e-? That is the question. Turns out Sc can 2e-! Check our groups @J_A_C_S paper on Sc-catalyzed radical-polar crossover! Congrats @JoshGavin17 @belli_roman and @CortnieRoberts @robertsgroupumn @UMNChemistry .

I’ve heard people say they study inorganic chemistry for the colors but I never understood until I became one of those people 😍 @robertsgroupumn

Also shoutout to @belli_roman for teaching me a bit about maple syrup. I have so much to learn from one as knowledgeable as you!.

Not sure how it happened, but here’s the culmination of my first year in grad school @UMNChemistry. Maple syrup for the final X-ray presentation courtesy of Vic Young. Doesn’t get much better than this!

#BlackInChem Here’s @_ChemistRay showing what #SJU Johnnies are made of with his awesome leadership and chemistry! 🙌.
#BlackinChemRollCall I am Raymond, an NSF GRFP Fellow & a rising 4th year PhD Candidate in the @nagiblab at @OSU_CBC. I work on developing new methods that use light 💡 to generate radicals to synthesize prevalent motifs found in drugs 💊. More details to follow on Thursday 😁

If you’re one of my followers that doesn’t follow @BezaTuga (if that’s any of you!), you should give her a follow. She’ll grace your TL #BlackInChem.
