Benzoyl peroxide is a chemical compound with structural formula (C6H5−C(=O)O−)2, often abbreviated as (BzO)2. In terms of its structure, the molecule can be described as two benzoyl (C6H5−C(=O)−, Bz) groups connected by a peroxide (−O−O−). It is a white granular solid with a faint ...
Diborane (B2H6), the simplest borane, is a useful reagent with many applications, but it is pyrophoric, gaseous and not convenient to handle. There is a wide range of boranes: Decaborane for example is not as reactive as diborane and is used as reducing agent too.
Trimethylamine borane, also known as trimethylamine complex with borane or trimethylamine borane adduct, is a chemical compound with the formula (CH3)3N·BH3. It is a coordination complex formed by the reaction between trimethylamine (N(CH3)3) and borane (BH3).
N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS) is a brominating and oxidizing agent that is used as source for bromine in radical reactions (for example: allylic brominations) and various electrophilic additions. The NBS bromination of substrates such as alcohols and amines, followed by elimination of HBr in the ...
The Du Bois group at Stanford University has achieved significant advancements in Rh-catalyzed C–H amination through oxidative cyclization of carbamate, sulfamate, sulfamide, urea, and guanidine substrates. This methodology produces 1,2- and 1,3-heteroatom motifs masked within 5- and ...
Professor Karl Anker Jørgensen and his research team have synthesized (R)- and (S)-α,α-bis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2-pyrrolidinemethanol trimethylsilyl ether compounds, which excel as chiral organocatalysts for the direct and asymmetric α-functionalization process of aldehydes.
The core of the chemical industry revolves around the synthesis of heteroaromatic and aromatic compounds. Given the escalating demand for novel chemical entities amidst dwindling resources and tight timelines imposed on research projects, there is a pressing need for a swift method to diversify ...
Professor Phil Baran and his team have created a new reagent called N-Hydroxytetrachlorophthalimide (H401609), which offers a cost-effective, scalable, and safe alternative for commonly used chemical transformations such as allylic oxidations, as well as Negishi and Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling ...
