Upscaling helicene synthesys. Excellent work coming from @jochenbrandt.bsky.social and co-workers in our department @qmul.ac.uk
I'm proud to present our group's first independent paper! 🥳In this preprint, we show a scalable (> 2g, almost 200 mg/h) synthesis of thia-, oxa-, and azahelicenes in continuous flow. Well done, Katherine, Chenyu, Shain, and Yang!
