Cathleen Crudden and her collaborators win the 2017 SYNLETT Best Paper Award
Congratulations to Cathy Crudden and her collaborators for being awarded with the award for the best paper in 2017 by SYNLETT. Benjamin List, Editor-in-Chief of SYNLETT, noted: "Nambo, Yim, Fowler, and Crudden have developed an elegant synthesis of tetraarylmethanes that involves an acid-catalyzed oxidative coupling of an arene with triarylmethanes, which became readily accessible in previous studies by the authors. The reaction proceeds via trityl-type cations and enables the formation of fascinating products, in which four different arenes are connected via a single stereogenic carbon atom."
