A new catalyst promotes an asymmetric radical reaction using an engineered ligand that can differentiate between very similar alkyl groups. The stereoselective amination process forms highly ...

This understanding is often used to rationalise why, for example, a tertiary alkyl halide undergoes a S N 1 rection more readily than a primary alkyl halide. Some older organic chemistry textbooks, ...

Subsequently, we developed multicomponent carbonylation reactions of alkyl halides using NHC-Cu catalysts (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene). These reactions operate by radical mechanisms, converting ...

Cross-coupling between a racemic secondary alkyl halide and an alkyl borane to produce an enantioenriched alkyl–alkyl product is one of the final substrate combinations to succumb to the ...
