🚨 Excited to share our latest research, published with @SpringerNature in @NatureComms ! 🚨 "Fe(OTf)₃ or Photosensitizer-Free Blue Light Activated Diazo-Thioglycoside Donors for Iterative and Stereoselective Glycosylations." @UofOklahoma nature.com/articles/s4146…
Feeling Proud as a Mentor, Sharma Lab shined at the Department Awards Banquet! 🌟 proud to share that our lab took home four major departmental awards and also won the Chemistry Trivia Challenge! Special congratulations to 🏆 Upasana, Deacon, Prakash and Surya!

I am overjoyed to share that I have been awarded the Presidential Professorship — a truly humbling honor! @UofOklahoma

Please check out our research on #Skeletal Editing of N-heterocycles using Sulfenylcarbenes published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (@J_A_C_S ). pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
As the Undergraduate Engagement Committee Chair, I am thrilled to share that our department now has an undergraduate chemistry club. We kicked off the first meeting with an incredible Spring Social, which was a resounding success!

Our recent publication in Science (Science Vol. 387, Issue 6729, pp. 102–107; DOI: 10.1126/science.adp0974) has been highlighted in Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN), a testament to the impact and significance of our research. cen.acs.org/synthesis/reag…
What an Incredible Start to 2025! I am overjoyed to share that our research has been published in Science. As the sole corresponding author, this recognition feels profoundly rewarding and almost surreal. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Please check our preprint on late-stage functionalization using unique sulfenylcarbenes, which exhibit inverse chemoselectivity compared to metal carbenes. Notably, they selectively react with alkenes in the presence of alcohols, carboxylic acids, amines. linkedin.com/posts/indrajee…
I am proud and overjoyed to share the exciting news that Adam Alber, my graduate student who will defend his Ph.D. thesis next month, is embarking on a remarkable new chapter as a tenure-track Assistant Professor at Northwest Oklahoma State University (NWOSU) in the Fall of 2024.

With immense pride and joy, I want to congratulate the outstanding members of the Sharma Research Group, who are recognized for their contributions to teaching and research at the 2024 Award Banquet of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry (OU). linkedin.com/posts/indrajee…
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am delighted to announce that the inaugural symposium "The Art and Science of Total Synthesis of Natural and Designed Molecules for Biology and Medicine: Synthetic Strategies and Methods" (ASTS-NDM 2024) will take place in Paris, France.
Please check our Preprint on Skeletal Editing using unique Sulfenylnitrenes, which allow selective single Nitrogen-Atom Insertion into Pyrroles, Indoles, and Imidazoles for their late-stage functionalization. #Skeletal Editing View Preprint: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

First, A Very Happy New Year to All my Friends/Colleagues. What a beginning to the year 2024! Please check out the SHARMA Lab back-to-back papers on Earth-abundant metal carbenes in ACS Catalysis. Here is the link to the second one on Iron Carbenes. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
