I’m sorry but what in the world are we doing here? Lectures in tents and birds on the tables in cafeteria. Is this really what we pay for @AmerChemSociety ?

New paper from the Kürti Lab! We report a Rh-catalyzed one-pot alkene oxyamination that delivers N–H unprotected β-amino γ-lactones. No protecting groups. Broad scope. Late-stage functionalization. Congrats to Agustin (@agustinmrt) & Young-Do (@ydk0627)! https://t.co/GX1rmiFQJN

Honored to be named a 2025 Ross M. Brown Investigator! https://t.co/4jm2UWzEE1 We’re taking on a grand challenge: building stable, neutral allotropes of nitrogen (N₄) as clean, ultra energy-dense fuels. No combustion & emissions. Just on-demand decomposition to pure hot N₂ gas.

We’re excited to share our work that introduces singly N-protected O-vinylhydroxylamines as ring-annulation reagents for the synthesis of azaindolines and azaindoles. Congrats to Zach & Charlotte (@charlie_bird13) and the Enamine (@EnamineLtd) team! 🔗 https://t.co/xUYPHW1Y2S

Congratulations, Inder! I am sure that your group will have more incredible results like this. I am looking forward to reading/learning about these innovative chemistries in the not too distant future.
What an Incredible Start to 2025! I am overjoyed to share that our research has been published in Science. As the sole corresponding author, this recognition feels profoundly rewarding and almost surreal.
