We have a new paper out today. We have been studying the use of pentafluoropyridine to generate acyl fluorides. We also developed a one-pot amidation too. Check it out in Org Lett @JOC_OL. #Fluorine @Cobb_Group https://t.co/o0dlOIXOO7

Delighted to have won prize for best talk at #RSCFluorine postgraduate meeting, especially given all the other excellent talks over the past two days. Well done to all the speakers and many thanks to the organisers.

[William Brittain @WDGBChem]

Congrats to @durhambmurray and @DAloisio_Vera for winning prizes at the RSC Fluorine Postgraduate Meeting. Both excellent talks!
