Carbonyl‐olefin metathesis reactions have emerged as an invaluable strategy for the direct formation of carbon–carbon bonds, enabling the efficient construction of complex molecular architectures.

Chiral tetrahydro-β-carbolines or tryptolines that contain a tetrasubstituted carbon center provides a framework for a variety of biologically active compounds. This basic structure is found in ...

Carbonyls (C=O groups) are popular reactive handles. But carbonylation reactions, which create these useful groups by appending carbon monoxide to aryl halides or alkyl halides with the help of a ...

Being able to shuffle functional groups on a molecule is something organic chemists would love to do, but it is not straightforward to do in the lab. A new synthesis designed by Guangbin Dong and ...

Rearranging the parts of a molecule is like rearranging the contents of a tightly packed suitcase: You must go through a number of steps, taking objects in and out to get the configuration you want. A ...
