Turning alkenes into chiral building blocks✨Wanderley & Crisenza showcase how #electrosynthesis is revolutionizing asymmetric 1,2-difunctionalization. Their “Sew & Cut” strategy merges pericyclic 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions with radical reactivity for complexity generation🧪

This years TruJamEnzaBridge Christmas social was a success! A jolly Christmas quiz organised by Ben and Ruth - congrats to the academics for winning the quiz! Great food and even better drinks after, finishing with an inspiring speech by both George and Ben…here’s to next year :)

Kudos to Taciano for securing the Oustanding Oral Presentation Prize🏆at the Postgraduate Symposium on Future Directions on Chemical Synthesis, yesterday at the University of Bath – way to go!

General Alkene 1,2-syn-Cyano-Hydroxylation Procedure Via Electrochemical Activation of Isoxazoline Cycloadducts Stereoselective alkene 1,2-difunctionalization is a privileged strategy to access three-dimensional C(sp3)-rich chiral molecules from readily available “flat” carbon feedstocks. State-of-the-art appro...

Thrilled to see our first contribution out in JACS! Taciano, Roberto, Órla & Ben developed a practical, broad-scope and selective strategy for alkene 1,2-syn-difunctionalization, combining 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions with electrochemical radical activation🪡✂️
