Because ketones are widespread in organic molecules, chemists are eager to develop new reactions that use them to form chemical bonds. One challenging reaction is the one-electron reduction of ketones ...

Carbonyls (C=O groups) are popular reactive handles. But carbonylation reactions, which create these useful groups by appending carbon monoxide to aryl halides or alkyl halides with the help of a ...

Chemists have figured out how to produce an industrially important reaction in a very economical way. Usually, adding a hydrochloric acid across a double bond involves two steps­—an oxidation and a ...

Organometallic reagents are one of the most fundamental tools in organic chemistry – these carbon nucleophiles are a staple ...
