Check out our work on the Aryne Alder-Ene reaction of locked styrenes. The work also features a tandem ene/[4+2]/[4+2] reaction. It was not easy to control the reactivity. Many Congrats to Tamal and Srinath! https://t.co/MsDVxch46l

[Ganesh Group @GroupGanesh]

Happy to share our work on the Pd-Catalyzed Synthesis of Areno-Pentalenes published in Org. Lett. This method provides exclusive access to the unsymmetrically substituted congeners. Many Congrats to Sourav Mondal and Krishna Biswas for their hard work! https://t.co/ak3fiBhJaW
