The class of nitrogen-containing molecules called diazo compounds has revealed a hidden talent: coupling with certain diazo partners to form carbon-carbon double bonds (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., DOI: ...
image: The first general transition-metal-free, photoinduced acetalation-pyridylation of alkenes using diethoxyacetic acid and cyanopyridine under mild conditions is reported. This environmentally ...
Aliphatic alcohols are cheap, widely available, and very stable building blocks for chemical synthesis and drug discovery. Now, a team of chemists has found a way to add functional groups to them in ...
