The catalytic ketonization of carboxylic acids is a pivotal reaction in the conversion of renewable feedstocks into value‐added chemicals and biofuels. This reaction couples two carboxylic acid ...

C-H activation-based method should speed drug molecule design and diversification. Scripps Research chemists have accomplished a long elusive feat in synthetic chemistry: the invention of a broadly ...

This module covers aldehydes and ketones as the substrates and products of redox reactions. Structure is explained with both Lewis structures and molecular orbitals to discuss mechanisms in the ...

Boron—the beloved oddball of the periodic table—can do some unique chemistry, thanks to its empty p-orbital. This has made boronic acids and boronate esters indispensable components in many compounds, ...
