Very happy to share our new paper in Chemical Science @chemicalscience.rsc.org

Great work by Yuri Damen (now at BioChem in Oss), @joresfu.bsky.social, Judith Firet, and Han Zuilhof @w-u-r.bsky.social

Especially for those of you who use strained alkynes in their click reactions!
Temperature–dependent reaction rates of quinone-alkene cycloaddition reveal that only entropy determines the rate of SPOCQ reactions
Second-order rate constants and thermodynamic activation parameters for the strain-promoted oxidation-controlled quinone (SPOCQ) click reaction of an ortho-quinone with various trans-cyclooctene and c...
