On the other hand, the cleaved alcohol fragments are quickly converted into alkenes but seem to have little to no effect on the hydrolysis rate. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA) was selected as ...

Dr. Albert Solé-Daura and Prof. Feliu Maseras have explored the application of the Marcus theory, traditionally used to model ...

Researchers are searching for better alternatives to this approach. "It would be better to directly use dinitrogen and alkenes to synthesize alkyl amines under mild conditions," he adds.

Enantioenriched alkyl–alkyl bonds are produced from abundant alkenes in one step via Ni-catalysed asymmetric cross-hydrodimerization. This technique overcomes the reactivity and selectivity ...
