Direct conversion of readily available alkenes into high-value alcohols is important but challenging in both organic synthesis and industry. One-pot reductive hydroformylation of alkenes provides ...

He thought if he could form those rings from alkenes, he could get to the cleavage ... chiral terpenes as a basis for complex synthesis, Brägger says. Turning terpenes into chiral amidines ...

An unsolved challenge in catalysis is the efficient and selective functionalization of simple alkanes and plentiful hydrocarbon feedstocks. One promising approach since the late 1990’s is the use of ...

Site-selective C-H functionalization of alkenes, which are readily available feedstock starting materials, is valuable for synthesis, but challenging. An SCCE team, led by Shaolin Zhu, has ...

We present a one-step, visible light-induced synthesis of bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane-ketone, a bioisostere for benzoyl groups that ...

The rapid disappearance of the amber color of the bromine at room temperature is characteristic of reaction with alkenes. (colorless) (purple) (colorless ...
