Chemical groups containing oxygen, nitrogen, silicon, and other heteroatoms often react during alkene coupling reactions, generating undesirable product mixtures. But a new, iron-catalyzed radical ...
A dilute solution of bromine is added to samples of heptane and cyclohexene. The bromination reactions and mechanisms are compared. UV light splits the bromine molecule into two reactive radicals, ...
Cyclopropanes are a common motif in medicinal chemistry. Three-carbon rings show up in drug structures for conditions including asthma, psoriasis, and COVID-19. But despite its utility, cyclopropane ...
