Carbon radicals are being used as an intermediate in a variety of synthetic transformations. Because they have just one electron, they tend to be highly reactive, allowing for speedy reactions ...

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 ...

An SN2 reaction, common in organic chemistry, is when one reactant attacks another, resulting in a new double bond. An SH2 reaction is essentially the same, MacMillan says, except the reactants ...

In catalytic reactions with organocatalysts, it is difficult to control radical reactions. We designed a thiazolium-type N-heterocyclic carbene catalyst having an N-neopentyl group. This catalyst ...

Click reactions—the subject of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry—come in many forms, but they all share a few key features. Namely, click chemistry forges new chemical bonds quickly ...

The reaction video, a user-generated and radically democratized outgrowth of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and I Love the ’90s and the mockumentary style of The Office, does the same thing those ...

A new recipe, or design guidelines, for a self-strengthening muscle-like hydrogel has been developed through strategic integration of computational, information, and experimental research. The ...

I HAVE always classed myself as a radical. I have been ever mindful of the wise man’s advice to the student, to be radical while he was young, for then his chance of seeing the world grow up to ...

Carbon radicals are attractive intermediates for organic synthesis because of their diversity and high reactivities. In this research, we realized radical C-C bond formation reactions using ...

Vicinal reaction: A radical strategy for linking three organic groups together Date: October 31, 2019 Source: Kanazawa University Summary: A research team has developed a reaction for creating ...
