Amine + CS₂ + Et₃N·3HF + ⚡ = N-CF₃, N-CSF or N-COF. Our Nature Communications paper shows a practical AgF-free route from secondary amines, no dry solvent or degassing. www.nature.com/articles/s41... @realtimechem.bsky.social #ChemSky @uniofgreenwich.bsky.social
⚡ A simple zap to install CD3 where it is hard to reach. Our new e-TriDeuteromethylation uses readily available AcOD-d4 to turn primary carboxylic acids into CD3 analogues. No drying. No degassing. Just coupling! @uniofgreenwich.bsky.social @realtimechem.bsky.social #ChemSky lnkd.in/eDjrCvz4
⚡Farewell, cyanogen family: e-Cyanation 2.0 has arrived! ⚡Just zap an amine + KSCN in wet, non-degassed solvent to access cyanamides cleanly and safely. Proud of this work from our lab at the Uni of Greenwich pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.... #eChem #Cyanamide @realtimechem.bsky.social #ChemSky
⚡WE DID IT⚡ We secured an MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship! A new postdoc is joining our lab at the University of Greenwich! They’ll be cooking up simple, practical electrochemical routes to medically relevant bioisosteres. Can’t wait to get started 🔥 #RealTimeChem #ChemSky
Here comes e-Diazo / e-Cyclopropanation ⚡️ Can diazo chemistry finally scale if diazo never accumulates? Electro-generate, consume immediately. Gram-scale cyclopropanes, safer by design! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... @chemicalscience.rsc.org @realtimechem.bsky.social #Electrosynthesis #ChemSky
Goodbye #Paris! It was a pleasure as always! But now, time to get back to the lab and try some new ⚡️ ideas! #RealTimeChem #ChemSky
One of the best small pleasure in life? Catching up with your former French PhD students when you’re in Paris 😄 #RealTimeChem #TeamForEver #ChemSky
Back in Paris for 2026 #ANR interviews on PEPR SPLEEN. Honoured to serve on an international panel for @UniofGreenwich, helping drive chemical industry decarbonisation through electrosynthesis. #ANR #France2030 #Electrosynthesis #Decarbonisation #ChemSky
SynTech accommodation is now open to everyone. Limited ensuite rooms at Devonport House for £232, four nights in Greenwich. We know London can be pricey, so we tried to keep this affordable, especially for PhD students and ECRs. Book here: buff.ly/iC9G2te #ChemSky @realtimechem.bsky.social
⚡ Turning alcohols into aldehydes with electricity. New open-access graphical review on electrochemical oxidations in @synopenjournal.bsky.social by @Conchem.bsky.social because chemists love schemes more than words 🤣 www.thieme-connect.com/products/ejo... #Electrosynthesis #Aldehydes #ChemSky
⚡ Mamma mia, here we go again with some electrochemistry! Welcome Malin, visiting PhD from Helena Lundberg's group at KTH, teaming up with Conall. Stay tuned for molecule zapping! ⚡🧪 @realtimechem.bsky.social #ChemSky
Exclusivity for #ChemSky:🎉 New paper to start 2026! Electrochemical conversion of alkyl halides to α-keto esters, no organometallics, no sup. electrolyte, no −78 °C, mild and scalable! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... #Electrosynthesis #GreenChemistry #UniofGreenwich @realtimechem.bsky.social
I could’t stay away from Chemistry for too long! So here we go, examining a superb echem PhD at HKU from Edmund Tse group! BTW! We are Open to hosting HK PhD or postdoc candidates in the UK via Croucher or Tai Hung Fai funding, aiming for 2027. DMs welcome! 😀 #ChemSky @realtimechem.bsky.social
Stop 4 of the Asian tour: #Taiwan. And nothing could say more « Welcome to Taiwan and Merry Christmas » than a welcoming #earthquake alert 😅
Third stop of my Asian tour: #Shenzen. I am officially living in the future enjoying too much taking #selfdriven cabs 🤣
« Terminal 3, I am back! » Last trip of the year. Off to #HongKong, #Guangzhou and #Taiwan to share our chemistry from @UniofGreenwich. If you are around and interested in electrosynthesis or new collaborations, do get in touch. Grateful to the whole⚡️Electrateam ⚡️! @realtimechem.bsky.social #ChemSky
Another day, another ⚡️ trip.Off to Paris as our work at the University of Greenwich is being used to support national discussions on sustainable technologies in France.Proud of the team and happy to contribute #Electrosynthesis #SustainableChemistry #France2030 #UoG #ChemSky @realtimers.bsky.social
