Catalytic hydroamination—the direct addition of an N–H bond across carbon–carbon multiple bonds—has emerged as a cornerstone transformation for the construction of valuable amine derivatives from ...

Selective hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes occupies a central role in organic synthesis and industrial chemistry, enabling the conversion of triple bonds into double bonds with high precision. The ...

Cycloaddition reactions involving alkenes or alkynes are classic transformations in organic synthesis, leading to stable products. These reactions are normally "symmetry forbidden," meaning that under ...

Alkynes are a group of organic compounds that are used to manufacture industrial reagents and polymers. Photolysis of a cyclopropenone with UV-light is a useful method to generate a highly reactive ...

Alkynes are prized among chemists for their uniquely reactive carbon-carbon triple bonds, which make them excellent coupling partners in click chemistry, for example. Now, chemists at the University ...

Wilkinson’s catalyst, formally chloridotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I) [RhCl(PPh 3) 3], is a coordination complex that catalyzes a wide range of organic ...
