and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes. Associate Professor Wu Jie and his research group from the Department of Chemistry at NUS, together with Professor Zhao Yu, also from the same ...

However, the strategies that directly installing both the pyridine group and the acetalate group into alkenes are still elusive and rare. The general method to simultaneously introduce pyridine ...

Here we describe the conversion of 1-alkenes into 1,4-diols. The method involves the installation of a new Si,N-type chelating auxiliary group on the alkene followed by iridium-catalysed C–H ...
