Integrated computational and experimental organic chemistry tools to investigate new multicomponent reactions
Iterative Theory/Experiment Cycles
Revised Formation Mechanism
Mn/Re vinylidenes react with P–OR nucleophiles via hydrolysis rather than intramolecular Michaelis–Arbuzov rearrangement
Synthesis of gem-Difluoroalkenes
Trifluoromethyl-substituted alkenes react with radical precursors to produce 1,1-difluoroalkene carbonyl mimics
Boost the Nucleophilicity of Allylboron
Aryllithium enhances the nucleophilicity of allylboronate to react with a wide range of electrophiles
Hydrogel Microspheres Cross-Linked by Rotaxane Networks
Rotaxane cross-linked microgels show a decoupled thermo- and pH-responsive volume transition
