Fokin paper. A use for triazoles (besides being excellent coordinating ligands...) - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

Mechanistic study on an alternative synthesis of DHIQ via a Ritter reaction. Nilupa, Ahamed. - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

The foldit game I was talking about over lunch - very good example of use of computer games in science. Exploits some natural human strengths. - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

Its is a unique way of doing science, The guy who does this is Dr. Zoran Popović (http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes...). An intresting web site he has. I heared one of his PhD student's project is based entirely on the results he get through the site. As far as i know they havent published anything based on the results from fold-it. Intresting to see how they will manage to publish stuff out of it. - Ahamed

Use of Twirlymol to add 3-D models to blog posts. - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

Nice example! - Jean-Claude Bradley

...works for any web page of course... - Noel O'Boyle

Rzepa applies the anthropic principle to amide bond rotation. [Note to self - how do dipoles help explain the Me inequivalence of dimethylformamide?] - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

It is interesting that we sometimes see rotamers for our Ugi products in the H NMR spectra - an example 173G containing and alkyne bond http://usefulchem.wikispaces.com/Exp173 - Jean-Claude Bradley

Couldn't you change the parameters in the model he mentions to see what chemistry would be like in a 'different' universe? I think that would be very interesting. - Andrew Lang

Very nice carboxylic-acid and amino-acid-directed Pd-catalysed aryl C-H olefination from Yu's group - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

Circularly polarised light + grinding + solid-liquid equilibrium = enantiopure solids. - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

Couldn't we use something like this for inputting 3-D molecular models? - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

I'd like to use this to generate models of my experimental setups. Would make it so much easier to generate figures from for M&M sections. Open source software? Couldn't find a download link... - Björn Brembs

looks really cool, fast input of hand made molecular models seems like a good possibility, couldn't find any software either though - Mike Chelen

The incomparable Stuart Warren interviewed. - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

Anthony - check this out. Arginines important in minor groove binding (here as an enhancer of major groove binding). - Matthew Todd

Nice example of benzylic C-N functionalisation to effect an intramolecular cyclisation. Not a net oxidation - apparent hydride transfer. Althea. "10.1021/ja905213f" - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

Nice Bachrach post discussing Jacobsen's recent Strecker mechanism. A beautiful level of detail here of the sequence of events in a thiourea-catalysed reaction. Nilupa. - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

Bachrach post on importance of dynamics in transition states - i.e. that reaction outcomes from possible transition states are time-dependent (atoms are moving in a certain direction, giving rise to certain products). - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

Useful Hoveyda group chart of which bath to use for which temperature. Linked from http://lab.chempedia.com/questio... - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

Direct transformation of methyl arenes to nitriles using a simple and mild oxidation of the tolyl position and azide reagent. Victor. 10.1002/anie.200903838 - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

Tryptophan-derived organocatalysts based on chiral diamines. "10.1002/anie.200903635" - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

Mechanistic study of cinchona catalysis, confirming cooperative catalysis involving H-bonding activation and quinuclidine-centered general base catalysis. - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

Question-and-answer site for organic chemistry, designed on the model of the Stackoverflow site for software. - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

Analysis of Soai reaction proposing barrel-like tetrameric intermediates. A combination of Kagan ML2 and Noyori reservoir effects in one system. - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

dehydrogenative benzylic phosphonation - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

Crabtree paper on benzylic C-H activation. Soo/Althea/Victor - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

Short visits to Japan by Faculty - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

Postdoc fellowships for Japan - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

Scammells demethylation using polonovski - goes via n-oxide as an easy way to do oxidation adjacent to nitrogen. - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

Bifunctional catalysis review focussing on the mechanism. Linking from Connotea group page is down, so this is manual - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

Paper describing the use of anisole to probe the polar (ortho/para) or radical (meta) nature of a bond forming event. Relevant to Soo/Althea - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

Ryan check this out - Matthew Todd

One-year grant for US graduate students to study in Aus - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet

Ahamed, Althea - primary-tertiary amine catalysis - Matthew Todd from Bookmarklet
