Electrochemistry
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 overview of the hallucinogenic natural and synthetic compounds. Then I cover pharmacology and synthesis of a variety of structurally unique hallucinogens. You can read the group meeting for all of the details on that, but what I wanted to cover here is some of the interesting legal and social issues surrounding research with hallucinogenic compounds.

- C–h Oxidation Meets Electrochemistry
When we look back at some of our lab’s terpene syntheses using a “two-phase” approach, it becomes abundantly clear that one oxidation reaction is used more than anything else: the allylic C–H oxidation. What isn’t obvious just by reading,...
- Functionalized Olefin Cross-coupling
Figure 1. Functionalized olefin cross-coupling at a glance. The last paper of the year from the inner depths of our lab has made its way out earlier today. It’s the bigger brother of our reductive olefin coupling paper from January. In a nutshell, reductive...
- A Tale Of Two Olefins
A prototype of the graphical abstract that Phil didn't want to submit to JACS.Today marks the day that another paper makes its way out of the hot little presses of the ACS Publication Office and into the world of chemistry. This time, it's a...
- Ingenol: Behind The Scenes
Disappointment, frustration, excitement, setbacks, thrill, and success. It has been a roller-coaster ride, but finally the reward is here. A total synthesis of ingenol from our lab was published online today. The chemistry is all described in the paper,...
