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 ...

Looking to turn simple alkenes into more complex molecules, chemists at Colorado State University report a stereospecific carboamination of C=C bonds. The reaction provides a new way to synthesize ...

A major advance in alkene oligomerization catalysis was Brookhart’s 1995 report of highly active group 10 metal diimine systems. In contrast to nickel and palladium catalysts, the corresponding ...
