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 ...

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 ...

Chemoselective synthesis of carbonyl compounds encompasses a suite of strategies that target the formation or modification of aldehydes and ketones in the presence of other reactive functionalities.

Aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids are the compounds containing carbon-oxygen double bond (>C=O) called carbonyl group. The carbon and oxygen of the carbonyl group are sp 2 hybridised and the ...
