A great effort. What amazing things polysulfides can do - particularly with a bit of light. Congrats to the team @Chiba_Group @PrattGroup! More to come from this awesome collaboration.
Check out our new paper @Chem_CP on dearomative dimerization and skeletal rearrangement of quinolines under polysulfide anions photocatalysis, led by the great collaboration between Eugene, Amirah and Ali from @PrattGroup @Chiba_Group!

Awesome to see this story together. Great job Eugene, Ali and Amirah!
Check out our new preprint @ChemRxiv on dearomative dimerization and skeletal rearrangement of quinolines to indoles by polysulfide anions photocatalysis, that came out of a collaboration with @PrattGroup. Congrats to Eugene, Ali and Amirah! https://t.co/6rZGWFPkwZ

Go eHAT team! Congrats Luke and @ChengChem! It has been fun for us to be working to promote C-H oxidation rather than our usual gig of trying to slow it down. More fun to come with @StephensonLabUM and @maldonadogroup.
Congratulations to the eHAT team on the newest publication out today in @J_A_C_S, led once again by the terrific collaboration between @ChengChem and Luke from the @PrattGroup @maldonadogroup @StephensonLabUM
