The two radicals combine via the SH2 reaction to make the new, quaternary group at the end of the alkyl chain. How neatly the reaction worked surprised the team, MacMillan says.

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 ...

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 ...
