Thank you @TortosaLab for highlighting our work on the synthesis of mycapolyol E. @angew_chem @BristolChem @AggarwalLab

A Petasis-type addition of sp2 boron-based nucleophiles to vinyl epoxides. Both atoms of the double bond involved in stabilising the TS, explaining why only sp2 borons can participate in the reaction, like the Petasis. Great collaboration with @bobbypaton. @BristolChem @J_A_C_S
⚛️ When Ir meets boranes, chemistry hits different! Now in @J_A_C_S: Our Ir-catalyzed allylation via intermolecular 1,4-boronate rearrangement enables enantioselective access to (R)-pyricuol in 2 steps. 🎉 Congrats Team! 🔗 [ https://t.co/Nw2GcGbRhs]

Fans of Corey–Chaykovsky reaction know ylides can stand in for carbenes in cyclopropanations. But can an ylide do C–C bond insertion first? We show the first example: methylene insertion into a C–C bond, then cyclopropanation/epoxidation: https://t.co/goYkq1GANY

Israel planted explosives in a school for disabled children at dawn today in South Lebanon and blew it up. Not a military target. A school for disabled children — perhaps the only one in the country. In what universe is this considered “self-defense”? https://t.co/yu8CWWazfC

Banksy has been censored by the establishment. How they fail to see the irony in this is beyond parody.

Spain’s Prime Minister imposes a full embargo on Israel: “Bombing hospitals and starving innocent children is not self-defense.” “It is not even war.” “It is the extermination of a defenseless people, and the destruction of every principle of human rights.” 🇪🇸 🇵🇸

The British establishment have all ready covered this new Banksy up. Can we get it Retweeted 10,000 times to show that they can never cover up their complicity in war crimes?? Protect the right to protest! RT!

Breaking news; Here is the security camera footage from the Family vessel of the Sumud Flotilla, stationing just outside Tunis port. So: 1. Sound of something that the crew identified as a drone. 2. Crews sounds the alarm and calls for help. 3. Explosion. Draw your conclusions.

Right wing media has had it in for @AngelaRayner from the start - they couldn’t bear a working class woman being so powerful & dynamic. She made a mistake & has paid heavily for it. Hope she’ll return at some point in the future - our politics needs more voices like hers

In 2010 I travelled the entire country of Israel and I've been to Palestine and other parts of the West Bank. I had minimal experience with Middle Eastern politics when I arrived in the country. My mind was a clean slate. Our Israeli guide was cordial but it was clear to me
God bless these women. Look at how they keep their composure. The second one even still sees him as the little boy he clearly is. It will never stop infuriating how much Palestinians have been dehumanized in the West. Look at the shit they have to put up with. The fact that

Congratulations to Malcolm George on completing a fantastic PhD, completing several complex molecules syntheses and developing methodology too. Your energy and resilience will be greatly missed. @BCS_CDT
🎉 Huge congratulations to Dr. Malcolm George on successfully defending his PhD thesis! He’s now joining Pharmaron as a Senior Scientist in Process Chemistry. Wishing him every success in this exciting new chapter! 👏

Virtually everyone in a position of power in the media is intimidated by a highly organised pro Israel lobby. Here’s how it works. Every single day they make the calculation: “is telling the truth here worth it? Maybe tomorrow is a bigger story”.

To end the carnage in Gaza’s apocalyptic reality, states must ACT: break the siege, protect civilians, impose arms embargo+ sanctions. Meanwhile, the least I can do is amplify trusted voices on the ground. 👇
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 Israel continues to use explosive-laden robots to erase more houses in Jabalia and Gaza City. This is a documented one. You will notice that there is no sound of a bomb falling, like in an air strike. Rather, it’s an explosion of a booby-trapped vehicles. Definitely

❗️BREAKING❗️Rescuers killed in line of duty. Scenes like this unfold every moment in Gaza, often unseen, largely undocumented. I beg STATES: how much more must be witnessed before you act to stop this carnage? 🔴Break the blockade 🔴Impose an Arms Embargo 🔴Impose Sanctions.
🚨Civil defense teams were targeted by an Israeli airstrike during a live broadcast on Al-Ghad TV, the attack was the second on Nasser Hospital, killing journalist , Reuters photographer Hossam Al-Masry and others.
