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 ...

Reactions that completely break carbon-carbon double bonds have particular transformative power in synthesis. Ozonolysis, which splits one alkene into two carbonyl compounds using trioxygen, is widely ...

The novel method uses a recycling photoreactor with an immobilized photosensitizer, coupled with a high-performance liquid chromatography technology, to enable efficient and sustainable synthesis of Z ...

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 ...
