A team of Hokkaido University researchers has developed the world's first method to achieve the catalytic asymmetric borylation of ketones, a breakthrough expected to facilitate the development of new ...

Arylboronates are widely used in chemical synthesis and can be prepared in a number of different ways. One approach is to react a trialkylboronate with an aryllithium or a Grignard reagent, but these ...

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 ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

State-of-the-art borylation uses iridium as a catalyst for sterically driven C-H functionalization. It is highly reactive, and it is fast. But if you have a molecule with many C-H bonds, iridium ...

The Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling is an invaluable C-C bond forming reaction, but it can be limited by the availability, isolation and stability of the boronate starting materials. This has led to the ...

For new approaches to C–H borylation using zinc catalysts and bis-borane electrophiles. The Ingleson Group focuses mainly on making molecules called organoboranes using chemical reactions that are ...

This news release is available in Japanese. Tuning the para position of benzene moieties is significant for creating biologically active compounds and optoelectronic materials. Yet, attaching a ...

In a paper published this week in Science, researchers show they are able to bypass the need for steric control and directing groups to induce cobalt-catalyzed borylation that is meta-selective. The ...
