Photoredox catalysed reductive cleavage of dibenzothiophene dioxides enabled by a temperature-controlled photoreactor The cleavage of C–S bonds in dibenzothiophene dioxides under reductive photoredox catalysed conditions is reported. The reactions afford sulfinates, which can be used in a variety of subsequent transf...

Brilliant teamwork! Great watching this project grow by connecting chemists and engineers based in the UK and Japan. Congrats all! 🀝

Great to see the group enjoying the Bristol Synthesis Meeting. A true highlight of the year for synthetic/organic chemistry in the UK. Love hearing everyone coming back inspired and motivated. Varinder Aggarwal and the organisers always make this a fantastic event.

To give another sense of the scale of the meeting. The pdf for the whole programme was 1,500 pages. Downloaded it once but never again as it crashed my computer πŸ˜… 3/4

The best part is seeing so many PhD and undergraduate students presenting their research. I haven't attended an ACS meeting before but will have to see how that compares some day. Not sure we could achieve something like this in the UK, but would be great if we could. 2/4

I've met many people for the first time during CSJ nenkai. Often this has felt quite formal - exchanging business cards, πŸ™‡. So meeting Fujihara-sensei (Kyoto) and Takeda-sensei
@takephos.bsky.social after they led a science event for families will live long in the memory. Great stuff!
