The carbonyl group stands as a fundamental scaffold and plays a ubiquitous role in synthetically important chemical reactions in both academic and industrial contexts. Venerable transformations, ...

Classical protocols for carbonyl allylation, propargylation and vinylation typically rely upon the use of preformed allyl metal, allenyl metal and vinyl metal reagents, respectively, mandating ...

With the help of zinc reagents, chemists have found a loophole in rules that govern additions to chiral carbonyl compounds, a fundamental reaction in organic synthesis. The work, presented on March 24 ...
