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 ...

Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes ...

A dilute solution of bromine is added to samples of heptane and cyclohexene. The bromination reactions and mechanisms are compared. UV light splits the bromine molecule into two reactive radicals, ...
