A catalyst has been tuned to make different compounds from the same molecules in carbon–nitrogen bond-forming reactions, depending on the conditions used. The products are potential building blocks ...
In a development that could revise organic chemistry textbooks, a new catalytic version of alkene dichlorination makes the reaction more versatile. Now, researchers have devised the first catalytic ...
A combination of organoboron and radical chemistry generates unusual trans-selectivity in hydroboration of alkynes. The use of N-heterocyclic carbene boranes is key to the success of this chemical ...
