Chemists have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes. Chemists from the National University of ...

Researchers at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung have developed a practical two-step method to alkylate alkenes using bench-stable carboxylic acids and a polar decarboxylative strategy. The ...

Alkenes are incredibly common in the molecular world, so researchers constantly seek more ways to use them in chemical transformations. Now, two independent teams have uncovered new alkene reactivity ...

Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes ...

A major advance in alkene oligomerization catalysis was Brookhart’s 1995 report of highly active group 10 metal diimine systems. In contrast to nickel and palladium catalysts, the corresponding ...

Looking to turn simple alkenes into more complex molecules, chemists at Colorado State University report a stereospecific carboamination of C=C bonds. The reaction provides a new way to synthesize ...

Researchers at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung have unveiled a two-step alkene alkylation method using stable carboxylic acids and polar coupling. The approach overcomes a long-standing ...
