Scientists at the Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo) have successfully realized the highly selective asymmetric 1,6 ...

The proposed method for anti-Michael addition in this study can enable one-step synthesis of α-substituted carbonyl compounds, which are commonly used in pharmaceuticals. Their study was made ...

Carbonyls (C=O groups) are popular reactive handles. But carbonylation reactions, which create these useful groups by appending carbon monoxide to aryl halides or alkyl halides with the help of a ...

CBSE Class 12 Organic Chemistry is often seen as memory-heavy, but it is built on clear patterns. From functional groups and reaction mechanisms to redox behaviour and named reactions, recognising ...

As a footnote to Mark M. Green’s letter on how to make organic chemistry “be part of understanding the wider world, to be worth knowing” (Jan. 2, 2023, page 3), I wish to illustrate my approach to “a ...

The reaction utilizes an iron catalyst together with an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand, which suppresses unwanted side reactions to promote highly selective nucleophile addition. In organic ...
