Following the development of a new and more practical method to make the formyloxyl radical in situ, scientists are now exploring the intriguing reactivity of this previously elusive species. The ...

Chemists have shown they can generate unusual trans-isomers from the hydroboration of two steroid compounds, in addition to the expected cis-isomers. Hydroboration is a well-known organic reaction ...

Figure 1: Previous and current reports on the anti-Markovnikov addition of nucleophiles to alkenes. Figure 2: Proposed catalytic cycle for the anti-Markovnikov hydrohalogenation of styrenyl alkenes.

A direct catalytic anti-Markovnikov addition of carboxylic acids to alkenes is reported. The catalyst system is comprised of the Fukuzumi acridinium photooxidant (1) and a substoichiometric quantity ...
