Be sure to check out our @NatRevChem paper to read about our recent study on the public perception of organic chemistry! Congrats to Kasey and Christina from our lab, and our collaborators Prof. Dory DeWeese, Prof. Francesca Ippoliti, and Prof. Daniel Nasrallah.

Here is our latest study on strained cyclic allenes in @JACS. By studying (2+2) cycloadditions, we probe the “diradicaloid” nature of these intermediates.
Congrats to Noah, Allison, and Jacob! Read it here: doi.org/10.1021/jacs.6c09105

🦋Radicals and diradicaloids harness the latent energy of strained cycloalkanes, revealing how diradical character and strain release dictate reactivity, selectivity, and molecular complexity 🧪🚀
