The direct anti-Markovnikov addition of strong Brønsted acids to alkenes remains an unsolved problem in synthetic chemistry. Here, we report an efficient organic photoredox catalyst system for the ...
The selective conversion of alkenes into alcohols is a cornerstone of modern chemical synthesis, underpinning the production of pharmaceuticals, functional materials, and fine chemicals. However, ...
Chemists have been trying for some time to find a practical synthetic method that the chemical industry could use to add terminal functional groups such as alcohols, ethers, and amines to olefins.
