“the team eventually isolated the compound by altering the reaction conditions so that there were no nucleophiles present

“Such strategies for the opening of arenes combine the virtues of the increased reactivity by a dearomatisation with the ability to entirely remodel aromatic rings

“he now hopes to use ARO with ‘more challenging molecular skeletons’ , such as unactivated benzene rings, as well as finding new practical applications of these reactions

“striking and thought-provoking masterclass of this new realm of synthesis

“This milestone exemplifies how collaboration between deep-tech companies and academic groups provides a mutual benefit. Researchers test emerging technologies promising more accurate measurements or improved functionality in relevant end-applications, and the company receives pertinent technical feedback. We enjoy working with WinPhoS, and anticipate additional exciting integrated photonics-enabled advances in neuromorphic computing.

“Our ARO products feature conjugated double bonds analogous to 1,3-butadiene

“For our balloon, however, we use a process that joins the biodegradable materials together without any additives, so it's able to break down fully.

“the team tried to insert an IV in Carruthers' arm, hand and foot before attempting to insert a central line
