The catalytic aldol condensation reaction represents a pivotal method for synthesising acrylic acid through the coupling of simple carbonyl compounds such as acetic acid, formaldehyde and methanol.

The Jingjing Wu group at the National Key Laboratory of Synergistic Materials Creation/Frontier Science Center for Transformative Molecules (FSCTM) at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, in collaboration ...

For the synthesis of optically active compounds, chiral catalysts have attracted much attention because large quantities of optically active molecules can be prepared from a small amount of a chiral ...

It is widely recognized that the Barbier–Grignard-type reaction is one of the most important methods for forming carbon–carbon bonds and has widespread synthetic applications in modern organic ...
