(Phys.org)—Substituted cyclobutanes, four-membered carbon rings with substituents on some of the carbon atoms, can be made with regio- and stereo-selectivity through various methods, including ...

Electron transfer is a powerful way to accomplish chemical transformations, especially when driven by light or electricity.

Total synthesis of natural products via cycloaddition reactions brings together strategic bond construction with the precision of pericyclic processes to assemble complex molecular frameworks from ...

Cycloaddition reactions are an efficient strategy for constructing cyclic compounds that are important building blocks for other chemicals. In these processes, π-electrons from different unsaturated ...

Creating rings, or carbocycles, with a six-carbon skeleton is an elementary exercise for synthetic organic chemists. Ask one how it’s done, and the chemist will inevitably point to the stalwart ...
