Azorellolide! How can you not work on a natural product that starts with "Azo"? Great collaboration with @TantilloLab.
I have to say my respect for carbocations has enormously gown through this project. They are just too high in energy and have too many options. But you can tame them!

A curious case of truncated [1.1.1]propellane oligomerization demonstrates that selective one-pot [2]staffane formation becomes possible with either SF5Cl or CF3SF4Cl through radical polarity matching. Thanks to Beilstein JOC for the invited manuscript! beilstein-journals.org/bjoc/…

The manuscript introduces seven (yes, seven) independently optimized methodologies, provides the first structural insight on SF5–cyclobutanes, and explores mechanistic features (accounting for byproduct formation) experimentally and computationally with @TantilloLab.
