(Phys.org)—Substituted cyclobutanes, four-membered carbon rings with substituents on some of the carbon atoms, can be made with regio- and stereo-selectivity through various methods, including ...

Cycloaddition reactions are an efficient strategy for constructing cyclic compounds that are important building blocks for other chemicals. In these processes, π-electrons from different unsaturated ...

Cycloaddition reactions constitute a cornerstone of modern organic synthesis, enabling the rapid construction of ring systems and molecular complexity with high atom economy. These pericyclic ...

Electron transfer is a powerful way to accomplish chemical transformations, especially when driven by light or electricity.

Creating rings, or carbocycles, with a six-carbon skeleton is an elementary exercise for synthetic organic chemists. Ask one how it’s done, and the chemist will inevitably point to the stalwart ...
