A textbook chapter's worth of organic reactions have just been moved within reach of surface chemists studying molecular electronics and nanoscale devices. In separate studies, researchers in Canada ...

The bonding-partner switcheroo that happens in metathesis reactions has been a boon for molecule makers. Chemists who made crucial discoveries in olefin metathesis even won the Nobel Prize in ...

Alkyne metathesis catalysis is a transformative chemical process that enables the redistribution of carbon–carbon triple bonds through the cleavage and reformation of alkyne linkages. This reaction ...

Robert H. Grubbs of Caltech was awarded the 2005 Nobel Prize in chemistry Wednesday for his role in developing the intricate molecular dance called metathesis, a novel technique that makes it easier ...

Using ring-closing metathesis to exploit the properties of carbon-carbon double bonds, researchers have developed a new catalytic approach for the preparation of compounds essential to drug discovery.

Uniqsis has published details of a new flow-through protocol developed by the Lamaty Group at Universite de Montpellier (France) on a FlowSyn™ Multi-X system that provides efficient ring closing ...
