N-Protonated Acridinium Catalyst Enables Anti-Markovnikov Hydration of Unconjugated Tri- and Disubstituted Olefins
Alcohols can be used as solvents, fuels, detergents, plasticizers, and other specialty chemicals. The synthesis of alcohols typically relies on the use of olefins as readily available feedstocks. The direct preparation of alcohols with anti-Markovnikov selectivity from olefins and water is highly sought after due to its atom economy and potential cost-effectiveness. However, the developed … Read more
