Fascinating @science.org paper for chemsky from Ryan Shenvi’s group this week, where instead of making cyclopropane from a carbene and an olefin, they make it from three separate differentially reactive C1 sources in an iron-catalyzed sequence www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

If you follow me and you aren’t a chemist, just forget for a minute everything you think about pharma—for good or for ill—and briefly ponder how they made the drug you took last time you were sick. Not discovered its effects, but made it, at massive scale, under intense time pressure.

Surprise level: 0 (Though the study itself is valuable!)
