In 1887, chemist Sir Arthur Michael reported a nucleophilic addition reaction to the β-position of α,β- unsaturated carbonyl compounds. These reactions, named Michael addition reactions, have been ...

In a development that could revise organic chemistry textbooks, a new catalytic version of alkene dichlorination makes the reaction more versatile. Now, researchers have devised the first catalytic ...

Nucleophilic addition represents a cornerstone of modern organic synthesis, involving the attack of electron-rich species on electrophilic multiple bonds. This class of reactions encompasses additions ...
