The employment of readily available alcohols as building blocks in C–C coupling reactions has received great research interest. In particular, the deoxygenative homocoupling of benzyl alcohols is ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. Electrochemical transformations use electricity rather than chemical reagents to perform reactions. Both of the new reactions are cross-electrophile ...

Chemists are amped up about two new reactions that use electricity to form different types of carbon-carbon bonds. One transformation builds sp 3-sp 3 C–C bonds and the other creates sp 2-sp 3 C–C ...
