Our synthesis of two halicyclamine alkaloids was recently published in @jacs.acspublications.org. Huge credit to all of the graduate student researchers involved. Here is a link to the article: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Enantioselective Total Synthesis of Two Aromatized Halicyclamines
The concise and divergent syntheses of the marine alkaloids (+)-tetradehydrohalicyclamine B and (−)-epi-tetradehydrohalicyclamine B are disclosed. Each synthesis requires ten steps and hinges on sever...

Hi #chemsky, we are having lots of trouble acquiring methyl vinyl ketone. Several suppliers, @sigmaaldrich.bsky.social, @thermofishersci.bsky.social, claim that they have it, but they actually do not, and they claim they do not know when it will arrive from their supplier.

In terms of bang for buck, the NIH's ROI is one of the highest for a government agency. Cutting this funding is the opposite of ensuring government efficiency. We should not be surprised if we see a massive exodus of researchers from this country. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately
The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease.

Hey #chemsky, we are trying to get our hand on a MeLi solution in Ether, but many vendors have shipping timelines of months or up to one year. Any vendors you might suggest for this with a more normal timeline for delivery?

What a great day for @scripps.edu to celebrate 100 years since its founding. Three of those years are very dear to me. Countless others have benefitted from both the fundamental and translational impact of this institution. Here's to another 100 years.

Metabolic engineering of narrow‐leafed lupin for the production of enantiomerically pure (−)‐sparteine
The protein crops known as lupins have been bred to accumulate low levels of antinutritional alkaloids, neglecting their potential as sources of valuable metabolites. Here, we engineered narrow-leafe....
