Honoured to have won this year's National Retrosynthesis Competition (@UKRetroComp) representing the @Gaunt_Group/@ChemCambridge .
Thank you to my fantastic teammates Francois, Markus, and Russell as well as the judges and organisers for making this event happen.

Huge congrats to PhD students Russell, Markus (@boecknation), Ryan (@RJDKang), and postdoc Francois (@FrichardChem) for winning the SCI-RSC retrosynthesis competition! – at Cambridge, England
And the much-awaited first prize goes to...
¿Hola, ketal? from @Gaunt_Group @ChemCambridge @Cambridge_Uni! Congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉

Absolutely brilliant time sharing our work at the @UKRetroComp finals yesterday- seeing so many different approaches to the same challenge was intense! I'm grateful that this many-month-long journey has taught me so much and that my team has been incredible the whole way!

Very proud PI ☺️
François (@FrichardChem, @biomimetic_chem postdoc, now with @Gaunt_Group) and Martin (@CattoenM, first PhD student joining the group @Chemistry_QMUL, now at @AstraZeneca) got the🥇and🥈prize at the @UKRetroComp with their respective teams 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

We have had an amazing day at @UKRetroComp! Here is a thread following all the teams' incredible efforts. Now we break for wine and once they make that tough decision, today's winning teams! – at London, England
The chemists are piling into SCI, ready for the 11th UK National Retrosynthesis Competition! I'll be live-tweeting today's event @UKRetroComp all day! soci.org/events/young-chemis…

It was a great pleasure to present at the final of the 10th National Retrosynthesis Competition with team Villiger People from @newsfrom_MP . We were absolutely delighted to come third. Thanks to the organising committee and other teams for a great meeting.@UKRetroComp @SCIupdate

The audience prize 🏆 went to the team from @impchemistry! Well done all 👏🏽 #UKRetroComp
Team If Only I'd Enone from @impchemistry performed, like many others, an Achmatowicz reaction - except this time at a later stage of the synthesis with other rings already installed on the furan starting material. Brilliant work #UKRetroComp

3rd place went to the Villiger people from @newsfrom_MP! Congratulations all! 🏅🎉 #UKRetroComp
Earlier in the afternoon, the Villiger People from @newsfrom_MP (specifically Concept Life Sciences) presented a cascade polyene cyclization to a 6-6-6 tricyclic system, followed by Grob fragmentation and further cyclizations to provide talaromynoid A. Great work! #UKRetroComp

Congratulations to the team from @OxfordChemistry for winning 2nd prize at the 10th SCI-RSC retrosynthesis competition last Friday! 🥳🌟#UKRetroComp
Great work again by team SynCity from @OxfordChemistry. They do a key photoredox cyclization with NHC catalysis late in their synthesis to tie the two halves of their molecule together into a central ring. #UKRetroComp

Congratulations to the team from @Pfizer_UK for winning 1st prize at the 10th SCI-RSC national retrosynthesis competition last Friday 🏆🎉 #UKRetroComp
Welcome to #UKRetroComp! Our first team to present is Trost Me, It Works from @Pfizer_UK! They featured a key Diels-Alder and their namesake Tsuji-Trost allylation, to give a total synthesis with 19 LLS sequence. Well done Pfizer! 🙌 #UKRetroComp

I remember this well! Not only was it team effort from the @s_marsden and @Adam_S_Nelson groups, but the final was held only a couple of days before national lockdown!
