The novel method uses a recycling photoreactor with an immobilized photosensitizer, coupled with a high-performance liquid chromatography technology, to enable efficient and sustainable synthesis of Z ...

Reactions that completely break carbon-carbon double bonds have particular transformative power in synthesis. Ozonolysis, which splits one alkene into two carbonyl compounds using trioxygen, is widely ...

CHESTNUT HILL, MA (3/24/2011) – A new catalytic chemical method for the synthesis of a large and important class of carbon-carbon double bonds has been developed by scientists from Boston College and ...

Researchers have discovered a new way to drive chemical reactions that could generate a wide variety of azetidines -- four-membered nitrogen heterocycles that have desirable pharmaceutical properties.
