Does anyone have a good reference on whether organolithium reagents can deprotonate lithium hydroxide? The question is whether one equivalent of water deactivates two equivalents of reagent or just one. #tryingtoclosemassbalance

PSA: if you use Python and work with data, check out Colaboratory! Jupyter notebooks in Google Drive, super easy to collaborate and share. Just what I was looking for, and I suspect I’m not the only one!

Working my way through faculty applications one again, and I am afraid I have to do this with a bottle of wine, because it is the only way I can keep from screaming. There are so many great people in the pile, people who dedicated all of their twenties and often half of

Our lab's first publication is now online! Congratulations Nick, Colleen and Oliver! We’re using electrochemistry to generate photocatalysts that can reduce molecules beyond the potential of lithium metal and selectively engage them in radical chemistry. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Enjoyed working on this with the talented team SnapdragonChem ! A great example of continuous reactors making some seriously challenging chemistry a lot more practical.

Look what I found growing in the half-forgotten, three-week-old aqueous phase of my workup from a DIBAL-H reduction! Most definitely the biggest single crystal I’ve seen outside of a geology exhibit and it made my day. Any guesses what it is?

Today I decided that #directedevolution is finally ready to be run entirely by #machinelearning. No more painful experiments to get your long-dreamed-for #enzymes! Grad students and postdocs can just push a button.

Used our mesoscale #photochemistry reactor to produce a few hundred grams of a useful intermediate in just a few hours #flowchemistry !

We used our microscale #photochemistry reactor and greater than a day of continuous operation to make <20 g (0.125 mmol/min productivity) of cyclobutane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid anhydride #flowchemistry #gasliquidchemistry
