Out of this world talk from ⁦Marcos García Suero⁩ on cyclopropanation and carbynes. Thanks for spending the day with us ⁦UCI Chemistry⁩ ⁦ICIQ⁩

Time to make more triangles! We introduce our new diastereoselective cyclopropanation protocol using the electrochemical dication pool strategy. Check out all the cool cyclopropanes you can now access at bit.ly/40gdkCV!

Ricardo Meyrelles of University of Vienna presents a contributed talk ESOR2023 YRS on protonated cyclopropane: the key intermediate towards cationic cyclopropanation to form 6,8-cycloeudesmanes. #ESOR2023

Christopher Uyeda shows that geminal dihaldes can be efficiently applied as non-stabilised carbene precursors using Ni and Co catalysts! Efiicient enantioselective cyclopropanation, even applied in pharma on production scale now! Fantastic lecture!
