Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes ...
This study is led by Prof. Dr. Shengying Li (State Key Laboratory of Microbial Technology, Shandong University) and Ass. Prof. Dr. Biaobiao Zhang (School of Science, Westlake University). The team ...
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 111, No. 23 (June 10, 2014), pp. 8368-8373 (6 pages) Despite recent advances of asymmetric synthesis, the ...
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 ...
Before we jump into predicting and drawing products, it's essential to solidify our understanding of the E1 mechanism itself. E1 stands for unimolecular elimination, highlighting the fact that the ...
To make vicinal diamines, in which neighboring carbons each have an attached amine group, chemists generally expose alkenes to harsh chemical oxidants, which can produce environmentally toxic ...
