Our external collaborators rated the work at the level of an early graduate student. The routes haven’t been tested in the lab yet. The molecules came from unpublished syntheses in the labs of Noah Burns (Stanford), Timothy Newhouse (Yale), and Sarah Reisman (Caltech).

Planning and executing the reactions to make a complex molecule (a “route”) is one of the hardest jobs in organic chemistry. From one image of each of four molecules, with no internet and with code as its only tool, Claude wrote a complete route in about half an hour.

When ACS shut down its mobile app, a lot of us lost the easiest way to keep up with some of the literature. Generic RSS readers are flaky, strip out images, and force you to bounce between publishers — while new chemistry papers are coming out at a firehose pace. All most of us want is to open one app, scroll the latest ASAPs, and actually see the graphical abstracts first — because chemists read in structures, not walls of text. So we built ChemASAP 🧪⚡ Open one app and see the newest ASAP and early-view papers (publisher agnostic), with their graphical abstracts front and center. • Pulls crisp TOC / graphical abstracts automatically – even when a publisher's RSS feed breaks or leaves them out • Works across publishers in one clean feed (ACS, Nature, Wiley, RSC, Cell Press/Chem, Science, and more — not locked to one house) • Treats @ChemRxiv as a first-class journal right alongside peer-reviewed ASAPs • Toggle only the journals you care about, tap straight to full text, or share a paper in one tap • No account, no sign-up 100% Free for everyone. So far, its been our go-to app for keeping track of the literature in real-time. 📱 iPhone/iPad: apps.apple.com/us/app/chemas… 💻 Web: api.baranlab.org Reply here with ideas for how to make it better! Shout out to @knight_chem for sponsorship and @bot for development.

Super-strained spirocycles meet AI-supported target fishing. ⏹️🤝🎣 We introduce a new class of "super-strained" spirocycles which through AI-supported target fishing (@CASChemistry) were found to be agonists for the sigma-1 receptor. 💊 Now in @angew_chem Link in comments👇

Human flight was inspired by birds. Large birds like swans run along the ground or water to build up speed before taking off, and they spread their wings to slow down and land smoothly
