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

[Gouverneur Group @GouverneurGroup]

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

[Cal Patel @CalumPatel]

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!

[Browne Group UCL @BrowneGroup]

An extremely exciting project for fluorine chemistry, and a pleasure to be involved!!
@ucl @OxfordChemistry

Huge congratulations to @GouverneurGroup and @CalumPatel!!

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
