Acyl fluorides are organic compounds that contain a fluorine atom in their structure. These compounds have recently gained much attention in transition-metal catalysis due to their stability and ...
WITH THE HELP OF a copper catalyst, researchers have circumvented the rules of electrophilic aromatic substitution, a fundamental reaction in organic synthesis. The advance enables substitution ...
A copper conundrum has researchers reevaluating how some counterintuitive chemistry really works. Last year, Robert J. Phipps and Matthew J. Gaunt of the University of Cambridge generated excitement ...
