In the world of organic chemistry, nitrogen-containing organic compounds are ubiquitous, forming the backbone of ...

Diazoacetic acid esters are important intermediates in drug and agrochemical synthesis, but their preparation typically ...

My research focuses on the chiral resolution of cyclopropyl esters, in order to use them to synthesize a chirally-active N-Heterocyclic Carbene (NHC) ligand. NHC-based organometallic catalysts have ...

Rearrangement reactions are useful ways to make substituted aromatic molecules, but most of the methods that shift a substituent around an arene ring leave a functional group behind at the vacated ...

Chemists at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung have developed a practical two-step method for alkylating alkenes via ...
