Recently, photoredox catalysis has emerged as an appealing coupling partner for transition metal catalysis, termed metallaphotocatalysis, to develop new synthetic methodologies as well as improve the ...

Alpha-substituted fatty amines and nitrogen-containing heterocycles are widely found in numerous bioactive natural products, pharmaceutical molecules, and agrochemicals. A recent analysis of small ...

Scientists from Hokkaido University have developed a rapid, efficient protocol for cross-coupling reactions, vastly expanding the pool of chemicals that can be used for the synthesis of useful organic ...

Using directed evolution, researchers have developed an enzyme that catalyses the formation of biaryl bonds (Nature 2022, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-021-04365-7). This new enzyme makes carbon-carbon bonds ...

Researchers have created and characterized a novel, three-component cross-coupling reaction that is a 'tremendous leap forward' in developing effective and practical iron-based reactions that could be ...

Chemists are amped up about two new reactions that use electricity to form different types of carbon-carbon bonds. One transformation builds sp 3-sp 3 C–C bonds and the other creates sp 2-sp 3 C–C ...
