New Publication: Really happy about my new paper working with fluoroiodane for synthesis of novel heterocycles, and a huge thanks to Dr. Alison Stuart and Dr. Will Riley for an enjoyable collaboration. Online now at Chemical Communications pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… #mechanochemistry

My work looking into mechanochemical cross-electrophile coupling with Will Nicholson, @JamieLeitch165 and Duncan Browne is now online at #OL J Org Chem/Org Lett. #mechanochemistry pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.102…

Congratulations to James and Deepak Mishra, whose work on the electrochemical oxidative Z-selective C(sp2)–H chlorination of acrylamides has been published in Chemical Communications as part of the 2021 Emerging Investigators themed issue pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Our paper on mechanochemically prepared Grignard reagents is finally out now in Nature Communications!! Congrats @rina_chemistry, Hajime Ito and the team! Great collaboration with Prof. Maeda Satoshi Maeda, Prof. Jiang and Prof. Takaya! nature.com/articles/s4146…

PhD students: Each time you sit down to craft a figure, write a sentence, or work on a paragraph, you make a small deliberate step towards advancing the frontier of human knowledge. Your time is valued, and your effort will compound over time. #PhDchat #AcademicTwitter

#Domainex is delighted to welcome Andrew Jones to our #chemistry team. Andy has recently completed his PhD in synthetic organic chemistry at Cardiff University focussing on the development of mechanochemical techniques. #DrugDiscovery #ScientificCareers #SyntheticChemistry

In our latest "Synthesis in Review" blog, we have featured some useful new synthetic transformations. We hope you find it interesting. domainex.co.uk/news/synthesis… #Domainex #DrugDiscovery #SyntheticChemistry #MedChem

My contract at Cardiff comes to an end in July. Does anyone have a job for me? 😊 #chemtwitter
