We would like to welcome Professor Alex Grenning (University of Minnesota) to the Advisory Board of OrganicLinks. He has joined the group just as we finished a biannual review (hand review) of the 531 synthetic organic academic research groups listed on the page. The review involved clicking on each link to the PI’s lab website …

Organiclinks Logo: A listing of the Synthetic Organic Faculty in the United States OrganicLinks is a list of United States synthetic organic chemistry faculty in Ph.D. granting departments. The list was originally compiled by Professor Matt McIntosh, University of Arkansas. He created the list in the late 1990’s as a resource and maintained it for 20+ years for the members of his group and the organic chemistry community. OrganicLinks is now maintained by volunteers with assistance from the DOC. The groups and the list are not an endorsement by the Division.

If you would like us to add your group, recommend other chemists and/or links, advertise for a postdoc position, or submit a comment or suggestion, please use the Contact the OrganicLinks Advisory Board form.

New for 2023, we are listing any postdoc positions for groups and institutions that do not meet the criteria for being listed on this page. We are listing these in the spreadsheet: Organic Postdoc Positions: Not on the OrganicLinks Page .

History

Professor McIntosh indicated that the concise list was created so that his students would become aware of all the active organic synthetic chemists in the United States because he wanted them to be aware of the chemists who they might postdoc with and/or interact with at meetings and such throughout their early careers. This is not to say that organic chemistry done elsewhere in the world is not excellent and important. He just realized that keeping a list like this was not going to be an easy task especially if it expanded to include faculty of other sub disciples of organic chemistry and/or elsewhere in the world.

In 2020, Professor McIntosh turned the list over to the Division of Organic Chemistry to host and maintain. The Division leadership is willing to host the list; however, the content of the list has been relegated to a subcommittee who are not necessarily members of the Executive Committee (we are looking for DOC members who are willing to volunteer to keep this list in working order).

The Division is also willing to host other relevant lists of organic chemists provided a committee of chemists can be put together to appropriately compile and maintain the list. If you would like us to consider other chemists and/or links, please use the Contact the OrganicLinks Advisory Board form.
