Carbocations act in different ways when interacting with aromatic rings. It is interesting that in terpene biosynthesis, the carbocationic intermediates do not alkylate the aromatic side chain of the ...

The first example of a stable, doubly oxidized carbene has been made by chemists in pursuit of octet-rule-defying molecules. Most carbon atoms possess 8 valence electrons, which is why they are said ...

Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) is a natural compound found in cruciferous vegetables (family Brassicaceae) such as horseradish, mustard, radish, and wasabi. It first appeared in the chemical literature ...

In the realm of reactivity, the vinyl carbocation is a beast so fleeting, so keen to combine or rearrange, that many have doubted that it can be tamed to create molecules in a stereoselective way. But ...

This study focuses on examining the isomerization of allyl alcohol using ruthenium (Ru) supported on alumina as a heterogeneous catalyst. The synthesized Ru/Al solids were characterized by various ...

Human civilization in the 21st century is largely sustained by modern chemical technologies. The raw materials used in the manufacturing of a wide range of products, from clothing to plastics and ...
