Organic chemistry in water.

Water has emerged as a versatile solvent for organic chemistry in recent years. Water as a solvent is not only inexpensive and environmentally benign, but also gives completely new reactivity. The types of organic reactions in water are broad including pericyclic reactions, reactions of carbanion equivalent, reactions of carbocation equivalent, reactions of radicals and carbenes, transition-met...

Organic Chemistry 215H

In the 1950’s Francis Crick formulated the “central dogma of molecular biology” in which information flows from DNA to RNA and finally to protein. Although certain exceptions to this model have emerged over the past 50 years, such as the discovery of RNA as the source of genetic information in certain viruses and the role of catalytic RNA in translation, this formulation has proved to be nearly...

Organic Chemistry Frontiers Highlight

This highlight discusses developments in transition metal-catalysed alkene and alkyne hydroacylation reactions over the past three years. The discussion summarizes the development of new catalyst systems for alkene and alkyne hydroacylation and applications to the synthesis of important ketone building blocks. The highlight captures transition metal-catalysed alkene and alkyne hydroacylation at...
