Recently, Prof. Shou-Fei Zhu’s research group at Nankai University reported in CCS Chemistry a highly efficient and selective hydro-silylation reaction of asymmetric internal alkynes with ...

A collaborative academic-industry research team in the U.K. has devised a method to convert the terminal triple bond of an alkyne into a diester with the two ester groups at opposite ends of the ...

Frustrated Lewis pairs are compounds containing both Lewis acidic and Lewis basic moieties, where the formation of an adduct is prevented by steric hindrance. They are therefore highly reactive, and ...

Alkynes are prized among chemists for their uniquely reactive carbon-carbon triple bonds, which make them excellent coupling partners in click chemistry, for example. Now, chemists at the University ...

A combination of organoboron and radical chemistry generates unusual trans-selectivity in hydroboration of alkynes. The use of N-heterocyclic carbene boranes is key to the success of this chemical ...

Increasing our understanding of cellular processes requires information about the types of biomolecules involved, their locations, and their interactions. This requires the molecules to be labeled ...

Three researchers won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry on Wednesday for their discovery of methods to “click” molecular building blocks together, forming complex molecules that can be used to develop ...
