Cycloaddition reactions are an efficient strategy for constructing cyclic compounds that are important building blocks for other chemicals. In these processes, π-electrons from different unsaturated ...

Cycloaddition reactions constitute a cornerstone of modern organic synthesis, enabling the rapid construction of ring systems and molecular complexity with high atom economy. These pericyclic ...

Molecular electronics and solar cells are two examples of devices that could be made by combining aromatic organic molecules together into extended, π-conjugated structures that conduct electricity.

Nitrenes are the ghosts of synthetic chemistry, formed in an instant and gone just as quickly, rearranging into something ...

Total synthesis of natural products via cycloaddition reactions brings together strategic bond construction with the precision of pericyclic processes to assemble complex molecular frameworks from ...

For decades, chemists have relied on boron-bound nitrenes as fleeting intermediates in synthesis, but no one has been able to ...

Creating rings, or carbocycles, with a six-carbon skeleton is an elementary exercise for synthetic organic chemists. Ask one how it’s done, and the chemist will inevitably point to the stalwart ...

Kana M. Sureshan is a full professor and Dean of planning at IISER Thiruvananthapuram. He received a Ph.D. degree from the University of Pune in 2002. Prof. Sureshan carried out his post-doctoral ...

A controlled/“living” click polymerization method developed by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo and Nagoya University enables precise chain-growth of AB-type monomers—traditionally limited to ...
