A team of chemists at Southern University of Science and Technology, working with a colleague from Zhejiang University, both in China, has engineered a metal–ligand complex that incorporates a ...
In this work, we explore a more atom-economic radical disulfuration strategy that operates without the need of a pre-functionalized radical precursor via direct C-H bond functionalization using a ...
The straightforward strategy of building a chiral C-O bond directly on a general carbon radical center is challenging and stereocontrol of the reactions of open-chain hydrocarbon radicals remains a ...
A reaction scheme showing an aryl aldehyde and a primary amine coming together on the left, with an arrow labeled with catalysts and ultraviolet light, to form a six-membered nitrogen-containing ring, ...
According to organic chemistry dogma, if you generate a radical on a chiral carbon, it’s going to lose its stereochemistry and racemize. But a new cross-coupling reaction that forges bonds between ...
Single-use plastics are a major environmental concern, but now, rather than being disposed of as garbage, used plastic bags from the grocery store could be utilized to carry out a reaction that can ...
Water treatment plants across the globe rely on ultraviolet light to generate hydroxyl radicals, the aggressive molecular fragments that rip apart pharmaceutical residues, pesticides, and industrial ...
How do radicals form in aqueous solutions when exposed to UV light? This question is important for health research and environmental protection. For example, with regard to the overfertilization of ...
