De-Wei Gao's research group at ShanghaiTech University has developed a new method for efficient and highly selective boron-heteroatom functional group exchange reactions. Their method overcomes the ...

The translocation of alkenes and remote functional groups is an ingenious strategy to reorganize complex structures, yet it is rarely investigated, owing to the challenges in controlling multiple ...

The electronic sphere of influence in transition metals is bigger than chemists thought. On Wednesday at the ACS Fall 2022 meeting in the Division of Inorganic Chemistry, postdoctoral researcher Chris ...

Hydrogen borrowing is an attractive and sustainable strategy for carbon–carbon bond formation that enables alcohols to be used as alkylating reagents in place of alkyl halides. However, despite ...

Scientists at Scripps Research have used rapid alternating current (AC) to selectively reduce carbonyl groups (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2021, DOI: 10.1021/jacs.1c06572). The technique avoids side reactions ...

This module covers aldehydes and ketones as the substrates and products of redox reactions. Structure is explained with both Lewis structures and molecular orbitals to discuss mechanisms in the ...
