Enabling technologies for synthesis. #mechanochem#flowchem
Our paper on the mechanochemical cross-electrophile coupling of twisted amides OR heteroaryl halides with alkyl halides is out now.
Congrats to @AJOrgChem and @ChemMattChem for all their hard work!

In my latest for @newscientist, the Holy Grail of fluorochemical production (and as I learned while reporting, these chemicals are in everything from antibiotics to fertilizers) https://t.co/Y6dX0MGLtm
We are thrilled to share a new HF-free technology that converts fluorspar to fluorochemicals. Enormous congratulations to the amazing team of chemists who made this recurring dream a reality! https://t.co/3nU4slfjAg @CalumPatel@ScienceMagazine@OxfordChemistry @Fluo_Rok
Published in Science, we report a way to prepare fluorochemicals directly from fluorspar without HF.
2 years ago we thought this was impossible.
Made a reality thanks to our incredible team @Oxchemmike@BrowneGroup@GroupAldridge @Fluo_Rok @bobbypaton and lots of ball milling!

It was a pleasure being involved in this exciting project led by @GouverneurGroup
Many congrats to all involved, truly groundbreaking for the areas of fluorine chemistry and mechanochemistry

The group had a lovely time at the #Mechanochemistry@Faraday_D in Cambridge this week - @RoySocChem with Matt, Rob, and Sarah all presenting their work on at the poster sessions
Temperature‐Controlled Mechanochemistry for the Nickel‐Catalyzed Suzuki‐Miyaura‐Type Coupling of Aryl Sulfamates via Ball Milling and Twin‐Screw Extrusion https://t.co/BrQe42z1ds
Exciting to say that this work on a temperature controlled Suzuki-Miyaura coupling is now out in @angew_chem! Congratulations to Rob and Sarah!
