NUS chemists have developed a new "catalyst control" blueprint to overcome a longstanding challenge in the site-selective dicarbofunctionalization of unactivated alkenes, by enabling the reaction to ...

A dilute solution of bromine is added to samples of heptane and cyclohexene. The bromination reactions and mechanisms are compared. UV light splits the bromine molecule into two reactive radicals, ...

Two different nitroalkane molecules are activated by visible light and knit together to form a complex alkene in a new reaction reported independently by two groups. Credit: Adapted from J. Am. Chem.

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 ...

A 3D plastic model of a carbon dioxide molecule. Strategies for using carbon dioxide in synthesis usually focus on the carbon atom. Now researchers are thinking about how to put its two oxygens to use ...
