The unique chemical and physical characteristics of ionic liquids are increasingly enticing chemists to explore their use as media for organic synthesis. "Over the past five years or so, there has ...

The proposed method for anti-Michael addition in this study can enable one-step synthesis of α-substituted carbonyl compounds, which are commonly used in pharmaceuticals. Their study was made ...

Application of the Michael reaction in organic synthesis is well established. A conjugate addition of nucleophilic substrates to unsaturated carbonyl compounds in the presence of basic or acidic ...

Halogen bonds were first proposed as an activating interaction in 2008, but this alternative type of organocatalysis was ...

Catalysis: They are essential in catalysis, particularly in processes like hydrogenation, hydroformylation, and polymerisation. For example, Ziegler-Natta catalysts, which are organometallic compounds ...

Emory University researchers led by Kyle Biegasiewicz have repurposed enzymes to produce diazo compounds from hydrazones ...
