Had a lot of fun at the #FloHet2024! Thank you Alex Alex Grenning and Aaron Aponick Group for hosting such a wonderful event UF Chemistry!

C–H Functionalization-Enabled 11-Step #Semisynthesis of (−)-Veragranine A by David Ma, Paz Duran, Reem Al-Ahmad | ريم الأحمد, Sara Hestehave, Margarita Joa, Omar Alsbiei, Erick J. Rodríguez-Palma, Yanrong Li, Shilin Wang, Dr. Rajesh Khanna of the KhannaLabUF, and Mingji Dai at Emory University in J. Am. Chem. Soc.


Here is our collaborative work with Dr. Rajesh Khanna of the KhannaLabUF! C–H Functionalization-Enabled 11-Step Semisynthesis of (−)-Veragranine A and Characterization of Synthetic Analogs in Osteoarthritis-related Pain Treatment | Journal of the American Chemical Society pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Congratulations to Mario Rivera, Lei, and two Emory undergraduate students Aditya and Nina! Emory Chemistry Emory College 9-Step synthesis of (−)-larikaempferic acid methyl ester enabled by skeletal rearrangement - now published in Chemical Communications pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Did you read... '9-Step synthesis of (−)-larikaempferic acid methyl ester enabled by skeletal rearrangement' from Mingji Dai et al at Emory University? #openaccess 🔓 Included in our HOT Articles and 2024 Pioneering Investigators collections buff.ly/4bE0FiF

Concise #TotalSyntheses of (−)-Crinipellins A and B Enabled by a Controlled Cargill Rearrangement by Bo Xu, Ziyao Zhang, Dean J. Tantillo Tantillo Lab at UC Davis Department of Chemistry, and Mingji Dai at Emory Chemistry in J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…


Please check out our crinipellin synthesis J. Am. Chem. Soc. ! Special thanks to Tantillo Lab for the DFT calculations! Concise Total Syntheses of (−)-Crinipellins A and B Enabled by a Controlled Cargill Rearrangement | Journal of the American Chemical Society pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…


Happy to share that our recent divergent cyclopropanol ring opening chemistry was featured as the front cover of Chemical Communications 60th Anniversary Collection! The cover art was designed by Pedro Horn and Paige Poppe! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…


Happy to see that we have two representatives in this elite list! Go Josie Josephine Bernard and Reem Reem Al-Ahmad | ريم الأحمد Emory Chemistry Emory College! Special thanks to EWOC EastCAN and Acceleration Consortium (AC) for the support!

Check out our total synthesis of (±)-Phaeocaulisin A J. Am. Chem. Soc.! The aldol cyclization is also very interesting. Ten-Step Total Synthesis of (±)-Phaeocaulisin A Enabled by Cyclopropanol Ring-Opening Carbonylation | Journal of the American Chemical Society pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Such message certainly lights up my Sunday morning! Thank you very much J. Am. Chem. Soc. for the kind and encouraging note and for valuing downloads numbers in addition to citations! Here is the link to our open access paper if you would like to read about it: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…


Happy to see that our phaeocaulisin A total synthesis J. Am. Chem. Soc. is among the most-read ACS Journal Articles (November 2024)! It gathered over 12,000 views in just one month! Cheers! axial.acs.org/cross-discipli… Here is the link to our open access article! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…


Here is the story about our synthesis and biological discovery of phaeocaulisin A and analogs Emory Chemistry Emory College Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University J. Am. Chem. Soc.. Special thanks to carolrclark for the writing and Sarah Woods for the photos Emory University. news.emory.edu/features/2025/…

In this collaborative work led by Benedikt Linder, curcusone D molecule helped to validate BRAT1 as a new therapeutic target for glioblastoma. Curcusone D also decreases the pro-migratory/invasive phenotype of glioblastoma and synergizes with irradiation. link.springer.com/article/10.100…



Advancing #TotalSynthesis Through Skeletal Editing by Reem Al-Ahmad (Reem Al-Ahmad | ريم الأحمد) and Mingji Dai at Emory Chemistry in Accounts of Chemical Research ACS Publications pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…


Check out our illisimonin A total synthesis J. Am. Chem. Soc. and find out how we make an olefin dance around the ring! Total Synthesis of (−)-Illisimonin A Enabled by Pattern Recognition and Olefin Transposition | Journal of the American Chemical Society pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Always appreciate such message from ACS Publications J. Am. Chem. Soc.. Glad to see that "Article views" numbers are valued! This is important for a field such as total synthesis, which doesn't get cited often, but attracts a lot of readership! Here is the paper: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
