The designed ylide transfers single carbon atoms | research

by

Researchers in Germany have designed an organic reagent capable of inserting a single carbon atom into existing molecules – one of three group transfer reactions supported by the new compound. The designed reagent is easy to make and can become a powerful addition to the skeleton editing toolbox. Insertions of carbon atoms are important transformations … Read more

Research reveals southern ocean heat, carbon uptake mismatch
