Annulative Skeletal Diversification of Pyrimidines to Expanded Heteroaromatic Space Single-atom skeletal editing has recently emerged as a powerful strategy for the direct diversification of the heterocyclic cores of various compounds. Yet, methods that enable monocycle-to-bicycle transformations that involve core atom changes remain scarce. Herein, we report a two-step, one-pot protocol that converts pyrimidines into 7-azaindazoles and pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines, two privileged scaffolds in medicinal chemistry. Fine-tuning the reaction parameters enables chemodivergent control, allowing selective access to either framework, with the pyrimidine scope including pharmaceutical drug molecules. Moreover, the strategy has been extended to afford differently substituted pyrimidines, partially saturated fused skeletons, and quinoline derivatives. Access to this broad, expanded, heteroaromatic space underscores the potential for heterocyclic diversification using this approach.

New Dadphos out today in JACS. V cool @bagphos.bsky.social

It's ok to give into them occasionally. Something about those tater tots especially just got different

Yo straight up, the free breakfast with all the healthy options and the discounted lunches with also healthy options! It's helped me lose a ton of weight!!!

Thank you!!

Party! 🤠🤠

Thanks!! Very hyped!

Ty!! I think I will!

Thank you!!! Still in the northeast!!!! So easy to come hang!!!

Thanks fam! We out here!!!

Ty ty 😭😍

Ty!!!

Thank you!!!! Boston baby! Staying in the bean town a bit longer!

Ty chem papi 😭😭😭

THE BENEFITS CJ!!! SO GOOD

MFW finding a pyridine nomenclature mistake in this paper

Oh yeah absolutely!! I have a Steamdeck so I would also probs play that too!!

We're moving and I'm gonna be taking a nice train to work from now on....

Its gonna be just like Persona 5 omg

"The haters"

"Who exactly are 'the haters'"

"Idk the people who hate!!"

FOUND A WAY TO PURGE IMPURITY BELOW SET SPECS. SLIME ME UP CUH LFG!!!

Me: hey isolated side product can I spike you into my reaction and see if you're the cause of this impurity I'm seeing??

Isolated Side Product: best I can do is turn your reaction orange with zero impact on impurity formation...

LETS GO!

Just like @bagphos.bsky.social ! He's a big ol cutie pie

I will keep trying 🫡

Oxygen migration into carbon–carbon single bonds by photochemical oxidation - Nature Synthesis Heteroatom insertions into chemically inert carbon–carbon single bonds are rare compared to their unsaturated analogues. Now, ligand-to-metal charge transfer offers a promising entry point for oxygen ...

Ok but @bagphos.bsky.social still doesn't have a JACS 🙄

(this is a joke post and should not be taken seriously, I'm super excited for Dadphos and his work!!!)
