Alcohols are organic compounds characterized by the presence of one or more hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to a carbon atom. They play vital roles as building blocks in various chemical processes, ...

Organic peroxy radicals (RO2) and Criegee intermediates (CI, carbonyl oxides) are key reactive species in atmospheric ...

Iron-mediated segment coupling followed by oxidative 1,5/6-hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) for synthesis of ε-oxo alkene derivatives is developed. This transformation involved translocation of the ...

However, this does not imply non-reactivity with other reagents. Indeed, some of the bridgehead alkene structures synthesised in their study could undergo oxidation reactions, challenging the notion ...

Two new catalytic methods offer ways to tackle longstanding challenges in alkene synthesis. Alkenes are essential chemical building blocks used in the manufacture of everyday items such as plastics ...

Scientific textbooks are going to need a rewrite after U.S. researchers broke a fundamental rule of chemistry, tearing up "one hundred years of conventional wisdom." The team from the University ...

State Key Laboratory of Applied Organic Chemistry, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou, Gansu 730000, People’s Republic of China State Key Laboratory of Applied ...

Alkenes play a crucial role in producing everyday products such as plastics, synthetic rubber, and fine chemicals, making them indispensable in modern chemistry and industry. Despite significant ...
