Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes ...

We herein report radical hydroazidation and hydrohalogenation of mono-, di- and trisubstituted alkenes through iron catalysis. The alkene moiety that often occurs as a functionality in natural ...

Our method displays broad substrate scope and tolerates a wide range of functional groups. Indeed, as well as various linear terminal alkenes, several more sterically congested terminal alkenes ...
