For our 4th course, we sit down with Dipa Kalyani to chat about her journey from a tenured professor position at St-Olaf to associate principal scientist within our Discovery organization via an academic-industrial collaboration with Dani. This episode explores how pairing state-of-the-art capabilities in HTE (the high-throughput experimentation kind) with great problem selection can lead to a nice impactful method for direct arylation of heterocycles with pharmaceutically relevant aryl chlorides. This work was served up in the Journal of Organic Chemistry and also featured in an ACS special virtual issue titled “Celebrating Women in Organic Chemistry” (all female authors!). Last but not least, we also discuss our musical prowess (P.S. Dipa wins). Listen to find out! Read the paper we discussed today here: Ni-Catalyzed C–H Arylation of Oxazoles and Benzoxazoles Using Pharmaceutically Relevant Aryl Chlorides and Bromides Follow Dipa on Twitter - @DipaKalyani1 Follow the Pharm to Table podcast on Twitter - @PharmToTablePod
