Salvaging Salvinorin: From Hallucinogen to Potential Therapeutic through Chemical Synthesis Read it here: go.acs.org/6bj NEW First Reactions by Myles Smith & Bhawyanth Duvvuru @UTSWNews discussing work by Shenvi Lab Laura M Bohn & co-workers go.acs.org/6bk



The final version of this Preprint has been published today in ACS Central Science : pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Fall fashions have arrived. Inner-sphere is out, outer-sphere is in. A new ACS Publications Accounts from Simona Kotesova summarizes our group's development of first-row metal catalysis to enable fragment coupling en route to bioactive natural products. tinyurl.com/bde8pfs4


On today's episode, I am joined by Shenvi Lab of Scripps Research! We talk natural product synthesis, metal-hydride hydrogen atom transfer, the large overlap between writing music and organic synthesis, and much more.



📢 *Calling all budding chemical biologist* Consider applying to the Program in Chemical Biology University of Michigan for your PhD!! Please reach out with any questions about this exceptional program.

Scripps Research chemists Ryan Shenvi and Guanghu Tong in the Shenvi Lab have modified the traditional poison picrotoxinin, significantly improving its stability and safety for potential neurological drugs, pesticides and anti-parasite treatments. ow.ly/wg3n50QkPa8





Meet Stephan Freeman, #ARCSScholar Shenvi Lab Scripps Research where he is helping to develop new tools to access ‘natural product space,’ compounds typified by cellular metabolites. Stephan will be honored at our 2024 SOY Celebration in April. More info: san-diego.arcsfoundation.org/2024-SOY-Celeb…

So happy to see this work out today in Science Magazine! We showed that an iron catalyst and a silane can generate both 3° & 1° carbon radicals from olefins/RAEs and then couple them to make quaternary carbons! science.org/doi/epdf/10.11…
