The efficient formation of single-isomer, differentially halogenated alkenes and alkanes is described. These structures were generated by treatment of the appropriate alkyne or alkene with ...

Generally, Ru-catalyzed alkene-alkyne coupling forms 1,4-dienes. A version of this process which generates a 1,3-diene as the Z,Z-isomer preferentially has now been observed. The scope of this new ...

Alkyne dimerization represents a pivotal reaction in organic synthesis whereby two terminal alkynes combine to yield 1,3-enynes – molecules that constitute key building blocks for natural products, ...

The cost-effective production of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) remains a major challenge within the energy sector. One approach to address this is the fermentation of biomass feedstocks into ...

Metathesis reactions for making compounds that contain carbon-carbon multiple bonds are one of the most important sets of processes in the chemical industry. The alkene or alkyne products are widely ...
