A double-reductive alkylation of amides with two different organometallic compounds allows the direct formation of a tertiary alkylamines in one pot. The synthesis of complex molecules relies on ...

Putting a new twist on an old favorite of organic chemistry, researchers have unveiled the phospha-bora-Wittig reaction. It offers a relatively straightforward way to prepare phosphaalkenes, which are ...

Organolithium and magnesium reagents are staples in chemical stockrooms. Useful in an array of reactions, they may experience their heaviest demand from cross-coupling reactions. In two such reactions ...
