Asymmetric ring‐opening reactions of bicyclic alkenes have emerged as a transformative approach in modern synthetic chemistry. These reactions capitalise on the inherent ring strain of fused cyclic ...
The team of Yanxing Jia and Aili Fan from Peking University used the known ( S )-4-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-2-cyclopentenone as the starting material, introduced ...
In 1825 Michael Faraday isolated a sweet-smelling chemical that he dubbed bi-carburet of hydrogen. That molecule, better known as benzene, is perhaps the most famous molecular ring in chemistry. Back ...
