Excited to share our latest work on ChemRxiv! 🎉 We developed a EnT-triggered 3-exo-trig radical cyclization for the intermolecular synthesis of 1,2-biscyclopropanes - a new approach to these intriguing, highly strained architectures. Congratulations to the entire team!🔬💡 chemrxiv.org/doi/full/10....
