Cross-coupling has been one of the most popular types of reactions in organic chemistry for decades. The pharma and agrochemical industries use these methods on a large scale to forge bonds between ...

Recently, photoredox catalysis has emerged as an appealing coupling partner for transition metal catalysis, termed metallaphotocatalysis, to develop new synthetic methodologies as well as improve the ...

Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a single-atom photocatalytic strategy that enables oxidant-free cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reactions between ...

Chemists are amped up about two new reactions that use electricity to form different types of carbon-carbon bonds. One transformation builds sp 3-sp 3 C–C bonds and the other creates sp 2-sp 3 C–C ...
