Kanazawa University researchers design a radical reaction to build highly functionalized ketones, installing two new carbon-carbon bonds at adjacent positions using a non-metal catalyst Kanazawa, ...
Chemical groups containing oxygen, nitrogen, silicon, and other heteroatoms often react during alkene coupling reactions, generating undesirable product mixtures. But a new, iron-catalyzed radical ...
The most current activation methodology utilizes rhodium complexes to catalyze the cleavage of Csp2 -Csp3 single bonds adjacent to ketones, ultimately allowing for the exchange of ketone substituents.
