Hypervalent iodine chemistry has emerged as a versatile and environmentally benign platform for the construction of carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds in modern organic synthesis. At the heart ...

Although functionalized cyclopropenes have found uses in many applications, their synthesis has been severely limited. Now, a hypervalent iodine reagent, in conjunction with gold catalysis, has been ...

Diaryl λ 3-bromanes are a rare and generally unresearched class of compounds. A mild and efficient protocol now delivers a broad palette of these interesting building blocks for organic synthesis. As ...

Sponsored by SQM S.A. There may be no better way to cap a successful chemical research career than to be recognized by the American Chemical Society. This is the case for Gerald F. Koser, a professor ...

With just a pinch of salt, a team of researchers in Japan have come up with an environmentally friendly catalyst to build 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran motifs via asymmetric oxidative cyclization of ...

(Nanowerk News) Carbon atoms are the building blocks for millions of organic molecules, yet this variety is built on the simple rule that carbon almost always shares a total of four chemical bonds ...
