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 ...

Organocatalysts consisting of organic compounds without metal elements are receiving much attention as next generation catalysts in the hope of reducing environmental burden and coping with exhaustion ...

Kanazawa University researchers design a radical reaction to build highly functionalized ketones, installing two new carbon-carbon bonds at adjacent positions using a non-metal catalyst Kanazawa, ...

Certain ESR spectra observed following the reaction of OH radicals with uracils had previously been assigned to the radicals produced by addition to the 5 position followed by keto-enol tautomerism ...

Chemists have a few choices when they want to transform aromatic C–H bonds into something more complicated. Brominating and borylating these bonds are popular options, but those reactions usually ...
