Despite the wide use of organometallic nucleophiles in synthetic organic chemistry, there are only a few chiral examples of these useful reagents. This stands in stark contrast to the wide variety of ...

The indole ring system is present in many biologically active medicinal agents and natural products. Indoles are prominent structural elements in the neurotransmitter serotonin, the anti-inflammatory ...

A recent academic paper published in the journal Organic Process Research and Development by the Group of Prof Steven V. Ley, Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge outlines a breakthrough ...

Highly reactive organometallic reagents, like organolithiums (molecules with a carbon–lithium bond) are essential reagents in organic synthesis because of their applications from polymer synthesis to ...

James A. Marshall is being honored for his long-standing work in synthetic organic and organometallic chemistry during the past 40 years. In particular, he and his students have introduced and ...

Synthetic chemists prize organolithium reagents for their ability to build carbon-carbon bonds. But their extreme reactivity also makes them dangerous—they can spontaneously ignite when exposed to air ...

Although nature provides us with a supply of substances that we have adapted for a number of uses, the importance of being able to create ‘designer’ molecules should not be underestimated. Since the ...
