Conjugated tetraenes are important key substructures in electronic materials, natural products and pharmaceutical molecules. However, they are difficult to synthesize. Now, researchers in Japan have ...

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 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 ...

Alkynes are a group of organic compounds that are used to manufacture industrial reagents and polymers. Photolysis of a cyclopropenone with UV-light is a useful method to generate a highly reactive ...
