Making molecules with quaternary carbon bonds—four carbons attached to a central C—is tricky but necessary for medicinal chemists. Quaternary C bonds have a discrete shape, Princeton University ...
Boston College team reports new catalytic process allows for selective transformation of the carbon-hydrogen bonds in common alkenes into value-added new alkenes bearing useful amine functionalities ...
Free radicals have a terrible reputation. These reactive and unstable molecules have been associated with cancer, aging, and degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. Yet the body constantly produces ...
Using muon spin rotation spectroscopy, researchers from Japan and Canada have successfully captured the rapid conversion of ...
A team of Boston College researchers has demonstrated an unprecedented catalytic approach that enables concurrent control of multiple convergences and selectivities in intermolecular amination of ...
2,2'-Azobis(isobutyronitrile), or AIBN, is a commonly used initiator for free-radical reactions, including many polymerizations. Its preparation was first reported by Thiele and Heuser in 1896, and it ...
Heteroatom tin compounds (SSn, OSn, NSn, PSn) composed of heteroatoms S, O, N, P and tin atoms have attracted intense attention due to their wide applications in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical ...
