The selective conversion of alkenes into alcohols is a cornerstone of modern chemical synthesis, underpinning the production ...
Chemical groups containing oxygen, nitrogen, silicon, and other heteroatoms often react during alkene coupling reactions, generating undesirable product mixtures. But a new, iron-catalyzed radical ...
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 ...
Looking to turn simple alkenes into more complex molecules, chemists at Colorado State University report a stereospecific carboamination of C=C bonds. The reaction provides a new way to synthesize ...
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 ...
A light-driven catalyst built from palladium single atoms and plasmonic gold nanoparticles converts phenylacetylene to styrene at room temperature with 90% selectivity.
