All my photoredox brings the molecules to the club

Single-panel cartoon: a queue of smiling oxime-ester molecules heads towards a doorway marked “Photoredox Club”, bathed in purple UV light. One molecule enthuses about the club’s ultraviolet lamps and its eagerness to “get catalysis on”. The image riffs on nightclub culture to illustrate a hydrazine-free photoredox method that reductively activates readily available oxime esters to build azines, highlighting the role of UV irradiation, catalytic “rock-out” conditions and sustainable synthetic chemistry. Conference hashtag, title bar and award credit frame the scene.

This cartoon abstract was prepared for the RSCPoster 2025 submission A hydrazine-free photoredox catalytic synthesis of azines by reductive activation of readily available oxime esters by Wolfgang Haumer
