Challenges for the development of general cascade reactions initiated by nitrogen-centred radical addition to alkynes mainly resulted from two reasons: (1) the usually harsh conditions for the ...

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 ...

Those with only carbon-carbon single bonds are saturated. If a compound contains at least one carbon-carbon double bond it is unsaturated and can undergo addition reactions. For example, alkenes can ...
