Celebrating New Cyclopropene Single-Addition Reactivity, Sequence-Control Recognition, and Ben Elling’s Graduate Journey

Jessica reported a second class of cyclopropenes that exhibit single addition reactivity in Angew. Simple change of Me to Ph substituent completely changes the reactivity. A nice preview from Hawker and coworkers "the Allure of Sequence Control" about our work on sequence control via single monomer addition. Also former student Ben Elling wrote about his trajectory on the potential energy surface of grad school and beyond.
