Carbon–carbon bond formation is the basis for the biogenesis of nature's essential molecules. Consequently, it lies at the heart of the chemical sciences. Chiral catalysts have been developed for ...

James A. Marshall is being honored for his long-standing work in synthetic organic and organometallic chemistry during the past 40 years. In particular, he and his students have introduced and ...

The synthesis of complex molecules relies on methods for the formation of carbon–carbon bonds. Methods that allow more than one carbon–carbon bond to be formed in a single step improve the efficiency ...

CORRECTION: This story was updated on April 21, 2016, to clarify that the method described was not the first radical-based route to chiral quaternary carbon centers. The method is the first route ...
