A Universal New Strategy for the Synthesis of 2-Alkyl Tetrahydrocarbons via Photocatalysis: Direct Synthesis from Simple Alkenes
Image source: J. Am. Chem. Soc.Introduction: 2-Alkyl substituted tetrahedral carbon rings and heterocycles are important structural motifs in pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals. However, existing synthetic methods primarily rely on the functionalization of a limited number of pre-made cyclic building blocks, making it difficult to cover a broad chemical space.Professor Mattia Silvi proposed a universal strategy … Read more
