JP Lumb

The @LumbGroup @McGillChemistry is working with @fuzionaire to expand the use of silicon in small-molecules. We're looking for #postdocs with experience in synthetic organic chemistry to join us: see job posting for details. Please spread the word.

The @LumbGroup @TomislavFriscic has openings for #chempostdoc in inorganic chemistry @McGillChemistry for a project on the mechanochemical separation of precious metals. See that attached project description for more details. Position is available immediately. Please RT.

@ZhengHuang13 and @LumbLab alumni Carolyn Ji (now with @DirkTrauner) report a short synthesis of the pseudo dimeric tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid (S,S)-tetramethylmagnolamine via catalytic aerobic desymmetrization @JOC_OL pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Wonderful to welcome Bob Waymouth @StanfordUChem as this year’s Allan Hay Memorial lecturer @McGillChemistry

Great to spend the day with ⁦@christhechang⁩ as our ⁦@McGillChemistry⁩ seminar speaker. Thanks for a wonderful visit Chris, and the excellent science.

Very happy to share the work of Dr. Wenbo Xu, Zheng Huang and Carolyn Ji on the catalytic aerobic cross coupling of phenols and catechols to make diaryl ethers. Great work you guys. @ACSCatalysis pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

Look what the cat dragged in. A tremendous pleasure to welcome good friend Xiaoguang Lei to ⁦@McGillChemistry⁩ ⁦@mcgillu⁩ as part of his Canadian tour. Thanks to ⁦@andrei_yudin⁩ ⁦@UofT⁩ and Shawn Collins for helping to organize.

Here we go! ⁦@rmartinICIQ⁩ visiting ⁦@McGillChemistry⁩

Never gets old. Snow removal in Montreal. Even after seeing (and hearing) it for years it’s still impressive. No room to store the snow in downtown so they truck it out of town using 18 wheelers and industrial snow blowers.

I am honored to accept the CSC's 2019 Keith Fagnou Award. Thanks to my incredible group for all of their hard work and vision. Prof. Fagnou's legacy speaks for itself, and I'm grateful for the chance to speak to his memory. cheminst.ca/awards/csc-award…

Extremely happy to welcome Rylan Lundgren from U of A to McGill today. Just about to get started!!

Chinese wine before noon? Yeah that’s right, total synthesis just finished. Folks this young man (Mr. Zheng Huang) is something special. Keep your eyes open for this one!

View on the way to work 2 days ago before all of the snow started. Feels like I'm heading to Hogwarts instead of @mcgillu @McGillChemistry . Glad to say that our toilets are real, renovated and for the most part, running as advertised.

View from the office this morning. Great work from ⁦⁦@mcgillu⁩ to keep the wheels turning!!

Happy holidays folks from the ⁦@LumbLab⁩ and ⁦@McGillChemistry⁩. All the best for 2019!!

Very happy to have pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs… online @ACSCatalysis. Great work from graduate student Zheng Huang. Hopefully this is a useful resource for people interested in C-H functionalization and the use phenols as directing groups. Great work Zheng!!

Hockey night in Montreal!!!
