🚀 Excited to share that we recently published two research papers on visible-light energy transfer (VLEnT) catalysis and fluorinated 3D molecular scaffold synthesis. 🔹 Developed a substrate-controlled dearomative cycloaddition of polyfluoronaphthalenes with switchable [2+2] / [4+2] reactivity. Angewandte Chemie https://lnkd.in/eC6A9mKM 🔹 Established a regioselective [2π+2σ] photocycloaddition strategy to access fluorinated bicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes (BCHs), scalable in both batch and flow. Cell Reports Physical Science by Cell Press https://lnkd.in/eaBihnvP These studies provide new approaches for constructing complex C(sp³)-rich fluorinated architectures with potential applications in medicinal chemistry and materials science. Grateful to my mentor Prof. Biplab Maji for all his support and continuous encouragement. Thankful to Prof. Lisa Roy and Sanat Kumar Mahapatra for an excellent collaboration. I am also thankful to all my co-authors Sujay, ANUSHA, Pramod Da and Biswajit for their excellent effort. The first manuscript is dedicated to Prof. Sourav Pal on the occasion of his 70th Birthday.
