A textbook chapter's worth of organic reactions have just been moved within reach of surface chemists studying molecular electronics and nanoscale devices. In separate studies, researchers in Canada ...

The bonding-partner switcheroo that happens in metathesis reactions has been a boon for molecule makers. Chemists who made crucial discoveries in olefin metathesis even won the Nobel Prize in ...

Carbonyls and alkenes, two of the most common functional groups in organic chemistry, generally do not react with one another. Now, a simple Lewis acid has been shown to catalyse metathesis between ...

Olefin cross-metathesis (CM)-based protocols enable short, flexible and regiocontrolled access to substituted furan derivatives. Specifically, CM of allylic alcohol and enone components provides ...

Chemists have succeeded in synthesizing the low-valent cationic aluminum complex by a metathesis reaction. "In chemistry, cationic low-valent aluminum compounds are highly sought after due to their ...

Using ring-closing metathesis to exploit the properties of carbon-carbon double bonds, researchers have developed a new catalytic approach for the preparation of compounds essential to drug discovery.

Following the model of a successful series of previous symposia, the upcoming ISOM XXII will cover the following topics: Catalyst development and Organometallic Chemistry of carbenes and carbynes ...

Uniqsis has published details of a new flow-through protocol developed by the Lamaty Group at Universite de Montpellier (France) on a FlowSyn™ Multi-X system that provides efficient ring closing ...
