Encounters with serendipity During my masters degree, I was working on the synthesis of some 3-deoxyflavilium salts, potentially useful as color additives. Only by serendipity, a 4-styrylflavilum cation with a remarkable hyperchromic effect with respect to the other 3-deoxyflavilium salts was obtained.
