10.09Alkene and arene, to be reduced or retained? That's the question.
Alkene and arene, to be reduced or retained? That's the question.The herein answer for this question is different from conventional ones. By using energy transfer (EnT) catalysis enabled hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) protocol, benzenoid ring of the quinoline is more easily reduced than an electron-deficient alkene. Furthermore, many reducing labile moieties such as aryl iodide, electron-defici...

05.26Dr. Jiajia Ma’s postdoctoral work is published in Nature Catalysis!
If a six-membered aromatic ring undergoes [2+2] cycloaddition, the remaining C=C bond wouldn't stand there, but engages in a consecutive rearrangement. The overall process leads to unexpected and sophisticated two dimensional/three dimensional fused rings.
