Organic chemistry articles from across Nature Portfolio

Organic chemistry is the study of the synthesis, structure, reactivity and properties of the diverse group of chemical compounds primarily constructed of carbon. All life on earth is carbon-based, thus organic chemistry is also the basis of biochemistry. The ability to form compounds containing long chains of carbon atoms is the basis of polymer chemistry.

Computationally guided design of a diazotransfer reagent with high reactivity

Sulfur( vi ) fluoride exchange and modular diazotransfer reactions have advanced click chemistry, but their mechanisms and reactivity profiles are not well understood. Now, a computational study of these reactions provides mechanistic insights and predictive reactivity models for modular diazotransfer, facilitating the development of an easy-to-prepare and -handle diazotransfer reagent with excellent reactivity.

Selective cross-hydrodimerization of alkenes

Enantioenriched alkyl–alkyl bonds are produced from abundant alkenes in one step via Ni-catalysed asymmetric cross-hydrodimerization. This technique overcomes the reactivity and selectivity challenges associated with coupling between two similar nucleophiles.

Stereoselective and site-divergent synthesis of C -glycosides

The synthesis of C -glycosides relies on specially designed glycosyl donors, which are often unstable and require multi-step synthesis. Now a facile method for the synthesis of diverse C -glycosides from readily available and stable 1-deoxyglycosides has been developed. A ligand-controlled site-divergent functionalization of carbohydrates by C–H sampling/nickel-catalysed cross-coupling has also been realized.

Enantioselective formal (3 + 3) cycloaddition of bicyclobutanes with nitrones enabled by asymmetric Lewis acid catalysis

The absence of catalytic asymmetric methods for synthesizing chiral (hetero)bicyclo[n.1.1]alkanes has hindered their application in new drug discovery. Herein the authors report an enantioselective formal (3 + 3) cycloaddition of bicyclobutanes with nitrones using a chiral Lewis acid catalyst for the synthesis of hetero-bicyclo[3.1.1]heptane.

Synthesis and screening of a library of Lewis x deoxyfluoro-analogues reveals differential recognition by glycan-binding partners

Distinguishing between different proteins that each bind to the same type of glycan is challenging. Here, the authors demonstrate that an enzymatically synthesised library of Lewis x ‘glycofluoroforms’ that feature site-specific fluorination can discriminate closely related proteins.

Main-group compounds selectively activate natural gas alkanes under room temperature and atmospheric pressure

Activation of natural gas alkanes using main-group systems typically requires heating or photo-irradiation under high atmospheric pressure with low regioselectivity. Here the authors report Lewis acid-carbene adduct activation of C–H bonds in ethane, propane and n -butane under one atmospheric pressure and at room temperature with high selectivity.

Computational analysis of modular diazotransfer reactions for the development of predictive reactivity models and diazotransfer reagents

Computational analysis of competing sulfur(VI)–fluoride exchange and modular diazotransfer pathways in the reaction between primary amines and fluorosulfuryl azide reveals that diazotransfer is more kinetically and thermodynamically favoured. Predictive models are formulated by combining mechanistic analysis and structure–activity relationship studies, enabling the development of an easy-to-prepare and highly reactive diazotransfer reagent.

Radical control for enantioselective C sp 3 –C sp 3 cross-coupling

The enantioselective formation of C sp 3 –C sp 3 bonds is still a substantial challenge in the synthesis of complex molecules. Now, a photocatalytic system has been developed for the enantioselective alkylation of α-amino C sp 3 −H bonds that promotes the generation of two different alkyl radicals, followed by their cross-coupling at a chiral nickel centre.

Organocatalytic acylation of remote arene C–H bonds

Site-selective acylation of remote arene C( sp 2 )−H bonds is achieved through N-heterocyclic carbene organocatalysis. This catalytic transformation proceeds through a nitrogen radical-mediated pathway and enables the late-stage modification of drugs, amino acids and peptides under mild conditions.

Anyone interested in conducting synthetic organic reactions and/or investigating the mechanism of complex catalytic reactions through a combination of spectroscopic methods and computational chemistry is welcome to inquire with Urs Gellrich about a potential project.

Applications from Erasmus students are encouraged!

Postdocs and PhD candidates: Please get in touch with a list of possible funding sources and contact details of two referees.

Wir freuen uns immer über motivierte Studierende,  die sich unserem Team für eine Bachelor- oder Masterarbeit anschließen möchten. 

Wir entwickeln neue metallfreie Katalysatoren, um einen Beitrag zu den Bereichen nachhaltige Synthese und Wasserstoffspeicherung zu leisten, die beide eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Verwirklichung einer nachhaltigen Gesellschaft spielen. Ein wichtiger Aspekt unserer Forschung sind quantenmechanische Berechnungen, die unsere synthetischen und experimentellen Arbeiten leiten und ergänzen. Wer daran interessiert ist, synthetische organische Reaktionen durchzuführen und/oder den Mechanismus komplexer katalytischer Reaktionen durch eine Kombination von spektroskopischen Methoden und computergestützter Chemie zu untersuchen, darf sich gerne bei Urs Gellrich nach einem möglichen Projekt erkundigen. 

Bewerbungen von Erasmus-Studierenden sind ebenfalls willkommen!

Postdocs und Doktoranden: Bitte mit einer Liste möglicher Finanzierungsquellen und den Kontaktdaten von zwei Referenzpersonen per E-Mail melden.

Dissertation Defense

Things to consider before you defend.

Have you completed your coursework and do you have at least a 3.0 GPA? Additional requirements met (RP's), if applicable? You may consider requesting N grades be changed to letter grades. This can be done with the Student Services Manager.

Find a Chair for your Oral Defense Committee. The Chair is a non-reader. This must be a faculty member outside of the Chemistry Department and outside your advisor's department if you work for a non-chemistry professor.  It can be a Professor Emeritus outside of chemistry or a Courtesy Professor as long as they don't have a joint appointment (e.g., like Chaitan Khosla). If you need help with this, ask your advisor for assistance. The Chair is doing you a favor, be sure to extend courtesy to him/her (e.g., a thank you note). You also need a second non-reader -- the fifth member of your oral exam committee. This could be a faculty member inside or outside of the chemistry department. Please have this person be outside your immediate field (e.g., an organic chemist should get physical or inorganic chemist).

You will need to set-up a time for your defense and reserve a room with the chemistry receptionist 3-2501, e.g., the Gazebo or Sapp Center. You must be registered the quarter you defend.

Complete the Oral Examination form. This form must be signed by the Chair of the Graduate Study Committee, Professor Cegelski. Roger will obtain her signature for you. Along with the orals form, submit a one or two-page abstract at least a week prior to your defense date . Let the External Relations group ( chemistry-events [at] stanford.edu (chemistry-events[at]stanford[dot]edu) ) know about your defense early so they can publicize it in  This Week in Chemistry . Roger will distribute copies of your oral form and abstract to members of your oral committee. The original will be sent to the chair of your orals committee in a special folder. However, it is your responsibility to let your committee know when and where your defense will be held.

Apply to graduate. Go into Axess and indicate the quarter you want your degree conferred (i.e., the quarter you submit your dissertation). Keep in mind, you must have valid candidacy through your conferral date. See Axess or Directions for Preparing Doctoral Dissertations for specific deadline dates.

If you use the Graduation Quarter to submit your thesis/dissertation, then you must complete the Petition for Graduation Quarter form by the first day of the term designated to be your Graduation Quarter. You may defend and submit your dissertation during a Graduation Quarter or you may defend and use the Graduation Quarter in a future quarter. You get only one Graduation Quarter with a lower tuition rate, $150. Among the pre-requisites for submitting the Graduation Quarter form, are enrolling in chem 802 and applying to graduate in Axess. Students on Graduation Quarter are registered at Stanford and, therefore, have the rights and privileges of registered students. Students will be assessed University health insurance (unless waived), campus health services fee, and ASSU fees (except during summer).

Please give a draft of your dissertation to your reading committee at least two weeks prior to your defense. Be mindful of faculty travel schedules, especially when looking for your readers to sign off on your dissertation! Make sure your reading committee is accurately reflected in Axess. If a member has been replaced, you must submit a Change of Reader form to Roger. 

The Academic Calendar  has many useful deadlines including the quarterly deadline to apply to graduate and the dissertation submission deadline.

If you have CardinalCare, it is for the entire academic year regardless of the quarters you are enrolled. If you leave before the end of the academic year, you will be charged for CardinalCare unless you waive it. Contact Vaden Health Center if you have other arrangements for health insurance (e.g., from your new employer).

Keep your address up-to-date in Axess because diplomas may be mailed to the last address given. Also, indicate in Axess whether or not you will participate in the department commencement exercises. You will receive a degree in chemistry; no subspecialty will appear on your diploma. If you want to assure that your name is in the University commencement program, then the Axess deadline is usually the third week of February.

Let Roger know your forwarding address, include job information. Please send this information via e-mail to  roger.kuhn [at] stanford.edu (roger[dot]kuhn[at]stanford[dot]edu)  and complete the Alumni Update Form .

Letter of completion: Students will receive email confirmation once the dissertation submission is approved by the Registrar's Office.  This email confirmation will provide instructions for obtaining the letter by essentially logging on to Axess, and going to the eDissertation/eThesis Center, where it should be ready and available as a link to the student.

Submit your dissertation electronically to the Registrar's Office . (See steps below.) There are two critical issues you need to be aware of:

• The electronic version is put on the internet soon after submission. This can be a huge problem for time-sensitive material and future publications. To protect your science and to permit future work to be published in a journal, you and your advisor must agree on an appropriate embargo period, up to two years. As part of the submission process, you declare via Axess your embargo period.
• Your advisor will not get a hard copy of your dissertation. Ask if she/he would like a copy. If yes, then you need to get one bound at a private printer.

Submitting Your Dissertation

See the Registrar’s Office website for all dissertation information.

The following steps are required, in order, to complete the dissertation submission process:

Go to the e-dissertation/thesis center in  Axess  (see the Registrar’s website for instructions).

Select your final reader.  They will need to log in to Axess and approve your dissertation before the deadline once you’ve uploaded your dissertation.

In lieu of actual paper signatures approving your dissertation from your reading committee, the process changed because of the pandemic. Now your readers must send you an e-mail from their @stanford.edu email address stating that they approve your dissertation. Those e-mails can be saved as PDFs and uploaded as part of the submission process.  **Only your reading committee should be included on your signature page. Do NOT include your defense chair or any committee members only present for the defense.
