Researchers have discovered a biosynthetic pathway that makes amino acids containing terminal alkynes. Because such functional groups are rare in natural products, they provide a handle for chemistry ...

A collaborative academic-industry research team in the U.K. has devised a method to convert the terminal triple bond of an alkyne into a diester with the two ester groups at opposite ends of the ...

Organoboron compounds have been widely used to create new organic molecules since Prof. Suzuki, a 2010 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, developed palladium-catalyzed cross coupling reactions with ...

Alkyne dimerization represents a pivotal reaction in organic synthesis whereby two terminal alkynes combine to yield 1,3-enynes – molecules that constitute key building blocks for natural products, ...
