Metathesis reactions for making compounds that contain carbon-carbon multiple bonds are one of the most important sets of processes in the chemical industry. The alkene or alkyne products are widely ...

Alkyne dimerization represents a pivotal reaction in organic synthesis whereby two terminal alkynes combine to yield 1,3-enynes – molecules that constitute key building blocks for natural products, ...

(Nanowerk News) The role of surface modification of nanoparticle catalysts in alkyne hydrogenation reactions was systematically investigated by the Center for Nanoscale Materials' NanoBio Interfaces ...

Wilkinson’s catalyst, formally chloridotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I) [RhCl(PPh 3) 3], is a coordination complex that catalyzes a wide range of organic ...

ISOM XVIII will provide a platform for cross-disciplinary exchange on the latest developments in all aspects of alkene and alkyne metathesis and metathesis-based technologies. The program will cover ...

As a footnote to Mark M. Green’s letter on how to make organic chemistry “be part of understanding the wider world, to be worth knowing” (Jan. 2, 2023, page 3), I wish to illustrate my approach to “a ...
