Electrocatalytic hydrogenation of alkynes has emerged as a sustainable route to convert carbon–carbon triple bonds into alkenes under ambient conditions. By harnessing protons and electrons from water ...

Cycloaddition reactions involving alkenes or alkynes are classic transformations in organic synthesis, leading to stable products. These reactions are normally "symmetry forbidden," meaning that under ...

Alkynes are a group of organic compounds that are used to manufacture industrial reagents and polymers. Photolysis of a cyclopropenone with UV-light is a useful method to generate a highly reactive ...

Wilkinson’s catalyst, formally chloridotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I) [RhCl(PPh 3) 3], is a coordination complex that catalyzes a wide range of organic ...
