Aryl halides*1) with a benzene ring directly bonded to a halogen atom are readily available and chemically stable, so they are used as a source of benzene rings in organic synthesis. For example, a ...

It would be highly advantageous to substitute aryl halides for the organometallic partner in addition to heteroarenes because it could dramatically increase the number and types of molecules that can ...

Carbonyls (C=O groups) are popular reactive handles. But carbonylation reactions, which create these useful groups by appending carbon monoxide to aryl halides or alkyl halides with the help of a ...

The importance of aryl sulfides in biologically active compounds has led chemists to develop methods to synthesize them from carbon-sulfur bond forming reactions. The conventional reaction, however, ...

Choose Your Own Adventure novels let readers send characters down divergent paths to different endings. The same can be true in chemical transformations: slight tweaks to reagents or conditions can ...
