The employment of readily available alcohols as building blocks in C–C coupling reactions has received great research interest. In particular, the deoxygenative homocoupling of benzyl alcohols is ...
Chemists are amped up about two new reactions that use electricity to form different types of carbon-carbon bonds. One transformation builds sp 3-sp 3 C–C bonds and the other creates sp 2-sp 3 C–C ...
Organic chemists have tended to avoid using water to host reactions, largely because their carbon-based molecules rarely dissolve in the liquid. Now, Burkhard König at the University of Regensburg has ...
