The selective conversion of alkenes into alcohols is a cornerstone of modern chemical synthesis, underpinning the production ...
Researchers at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung have unveiled a two-step alkene alkylation method using stable carboxylic acids and polar coupling. The approach overcomes a long-standing ...
Chemists at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung have developed a practical two-step method for alkylating alkenes via thianthrenation, addressing a long-standing synthetic challenge. This ...
A line structure of a molecule derived from the natural product 3-carene; the parent 3-carene structure, featuring a six-carbon ring with a double bond, is in blue and the added portion, featuring a ...
