Suécia, 1958. Chile, 1962. México, 1970.
Três continentes. Três décadas diferentes. Três vezes campeão do mundo.
Nenhum jogador na história fez isso antes. Nenhum fez depois.
O futebol já viu gênios. Já viu lendas. Já viu fenômenos.
Mas só conheceu um Rei.
55 anos depois do México, o recorde permanece intocado. Não porque faltaram grandes jogadores. Mas porque a grandeza de Pelé não tem medida de comparação.

Sweden, 1958. Chile, 1962. Mexico, 1970.
Three continents. Three different decades. Three-time World Champion.
No player in history did it before. None have done it since.
Football has seen geniuses. Legends. Phenomena.
But only one King.
55 years after Mexico, the record stands untouched. Not because great players were lacking. But because Pelé’s greatness has no comparison.
Remote site selective C-H oxidation via dehydrogenation led to efficient semisynthesis of 10 natural products isolated in Spain, England, Netherlands, Taiwan. Great collaboration with a Brazil team @eluccajr: https://t.co/WNwTontQv1
This strategy also unlocks the selective oxidation of sterically hindered C–H bonds, overcoming a long-standing challenge in C–H oxidation.
Congratulations to @victorstork for leading this outstanding work, and many thanks to all our collaborators!

By overcoming substrate-inherent reactivity through catalyst-controlled, switchable site-selectivity, we accessed oxidation patterns previously unavailable for total synthesis!
This strategy enabled the concise synthesis of 10 diterpenoids in five steps or fewer!
Dehydrogenation is often the endgame.
We see it as a stepping stone toward the net oxidation of C–H bonds!
Excited to share our latest Nature Communications paper with @YulabJin!
