Photocatalyst makes complex alkenes from acids, alkanes or alcohols, while a 'phase-pure' iron catalyst reduces unwanted ...

Although a number of routes have been developed for C-nucleoside synthesis, most are not very general in scope. Because alkynyl ketones are excellent substrates for elaboration to heterocyclic bases, ...

Now, a palladium- and norbornene-catalysed Catellani-type reaction of aryl ketones, through successive acylation and deacylation, allows the synthesis of polysubstituted arenes.

This difficulty arises as existing methods for olefin synthesis are limited using aldehydes/ketones or alkenes as the starting materials. Recently, Associate Professor Wu Jie and his research ...
