The new reaction offers a simpler route to complicated double bonds found in some drug molecules ...
Chemists have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes. Chemists from the National University of ...
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 ...
Chemists use single-electron transfers to synthesize complex, ring-shaped molecular structures found in many drug candidates and advanced materials, but current techniques still have limitations. A ...
Cyclopropanes are a common motif in medicinal chemistry. Three-carbon rings show up in drug structures for conditions including asthma, psoriasis, and COVID-19. But despite its utility, cyclopropane ...
Organoselenium catalysis has developed into a versatile platform for enabling selective transformations in organic chemistry. The unique redox properties of selenium, lying between those of sulphur ...
