- Hey! We Used C-h Activation To Make A Natural Product!
Once upon a time, we were interested making fumitremorgin A... Phil's interest in verruculogen and fumitremorgin A has been long standing (see: Austamine and Okaramine), but strangely the endoperoxide-containing indole alkaloids haven't...

Phil Baran upon learning about electrochemistry UPDATE: Our paper was highlighted on Deadspin! UPDATE 2: Support from the San Diego Chargers! Our paper on the total synthesis of dixiamycin B is now live in the JACS ASAP section, which means it's my...
- Hallucinogens
I recently presented a group meeting on Hallucinogens and Phil wanted me to do a little write-up to promote it. As a brief overview, I cover different classes of hallucinogenic natural products and synthetic compounds. It starts with a historical...

Electrochemistry
A selection of interesting "reactions" from around the lab...
Happy Hanukkah and Thanksgiving Eve to all, here in the Baran lab, we have a lot of pretty mundane reactions running on a day to day basis, but sometimes things get weird. Here's a few of my observations that I've managed to photodocument. As for the details of these reactions - I'll let those that ran them chime in if they care to.
