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, ...

Organocatalysts consisting of organic compounds without metal elements are receiving much attention as next generation catalysts in the hope of reducing environmental burden and coping with exhaustion ...

Nitrogen rings with attached chiral organic groups are common motifs in pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals, and bioactive small molecules. Medicinal chemists frequently seek to add chemical ...

Making molecules with quaternary carbon bonds—four carbons attached to a central C—is tricky but necessary for medicinal chemists. Quaternary C bonds have a discrete shape, Princeton University ...
