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 ...

Researchers synthesized weird molecules that exist in three dimensions, breaking Bredt's rule and helping to develop future ...

Cubene and quadricyclene are descended from cubane and quadricylane, both cage-shaped structures with bonds that are fairly ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. The researchers trigger the reaction with violet light. First, there is an electron transfer from an oxidant, a N-alkoxyphthalimide ester, to the ...

Chemists at UCLA are showing that some of organic chemistry’s most famous “rules” aren’t as unbreakable as once thought. By ...
