Avery's paper on the iodolium-catalyzed Nazarov Cyclization is published here in New. J. Chem.
If anyone has thoughts on what oxygen might be doing, we would love to hear it.
Congratulations Avery!
It has been a great month in the group for awards and scholarships.
Avery received the Ontario Graduate Scholarship in support of his continued studies, and he was also awarded a 2022 WIN Nanofellowship.
Fabio received the NSERC PGS-D in support of his continued studies.
Well done gents! Congratulations!
Welcome to our newest group members Julie and Massimo. Julie is a UWaterloo undergrad who joined as an NSERC USRA summer student, and Massimo is a Mitacs Global Link Intern who joined us from Université Grenoble Alpes in France.
The end of the school year always means the end of the BSc thesis project students' time in the group. Thank you to Lydia, Audrey, Carina and Ellie for all your hard work, and to the rest of the team for supporting and mentoring these students during their time in the group.
Best of luck in your future studies and in your new careers!
Liam and Zhao's mechanistic study on the alkene arylation reaction has been published in Can. J. Chem.
This is our 2021 Keith Fagnou award lecture paper.
Congratulations!
Mike has joined the group to work as part of the NSERC Alliance collaboration between us and deutraMed.
Benvenuto!!!
Ben has come back to Waterloo and joined the NSERC Alliance collaboration with deutraMed to work on deuteration of small molecule organics.
Welcome back to the group!
This collaboration with deutraMed Inc. aims to develop new syntheses for different deuterated small-molecule organics, and develop the analytical techniques for assessing the incorporation of deuterium into these molecules. Together, they will also work towards reducing the amount of energy needed in the manufacturing process and recovering deuterated waste streams for purification and reuse, to reduce the environmental impact of this research and development.
This fall we are joined by four new Chem494 thesis project students: Eleanor, Audrey, Lydia and Carina.
Welcome all!
Carlee was a UWaterloo BSc student, and she decided to join the group to work on iodonium ylides.
Welcome!
