Alkenyl boron derivatives are potentially useful synthetic intermediates that can, through subsequent cross-coupling reactions, be used to prepare highly substituted alkenes. Nickel- and ...

Reactions that completely break carbon-carbon double bonds have particular transformative power in synthesis. Ozonolysis, which splits one alkene into two carbonyl compounds using trioxygen, is widely ...

Installing directing groups, tiny signposts that tell a functional group where to attach to a molecule, is time consuming, but usually necessary. Ming Joo Koh and colleagues at the National University ...
