Efficient catalytic reactions that can generate C–C bonds enantioselectively, and ones that can produce trisubstituted alkenes diastereoselectively, are central to research in organic chemistry.

Small molecules with a carbon-carbon double bond—alkenes—are starting points for chemicals in products such as paints and flavorings. But many ways to modify alkenes are energy intensive or depend on ...

Multicomponent synthesis — the coupling of multiple reagents in one pot — is an attractive option for synthetic chemists when the creation of structurally complex target compounds in meaningful ...
