Three-component thio- and carbo-boration reactions to form functionalised benzoxaborinines and benzazaborinines are reported. The nucleophile scope includes thioethers, thiols, and (hetero)arenes. Me...

Ahead of his 60th birthday, Guy Lloyd-Jones, Forbes Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh, spoke about his career in science.

These fellowships typically target early career researchers with previous postdoctoral research experience wishing to transition to an independent research program.

The catalytic hydroboration of alkenes with pinacolborane (HBpin) represents a valuable yet challenging transformation in main-group catalysis, furnishing alkyl pinacol boronic esters of broad synthet...

Catalytic hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) enables atom-economical deuterium incorporation into pharmacologically relevant molecules, typically with precious metal catalysts. The drive for increased su...

Exclusive: British students will be able to participate in EU-wide scheme from January 2027, sources say An agreement to rejoin Erasmus – the EU’s student exchange programme – is expected to be announced on Wednesday as part of the UK government’s drive towards closer relations with Brussels. The final details of the announcement were agreed by the two sides on Tuesday, with a plan to allow UK students to participate in the EU-wide scheme from January 2027, sources said.

As the least expensive, least toxic and most abundant of the first-row transition metals, iron catalysis underpins the future of sustainable synthesis. Yet the mechanistic understanding remains limite...

Hidden catalysis plagues catalyst development and occurs when an impurity or species generated in situ facilitates the reaction instead of the intended catalyst. Current methods to identify hidden cat...

Chemists create heterocycles with multiple antimony atoms, including a stable, 3-membered ring

Borane-mediated deoxyfluorination of in situ generated N-H-O-alkyl-isoureas using Et3N ⋅ 3HF represents a novel approach to achieve a highly 2°-alcohol-selective substitution in preference to benzyli....

Mechanistic analysis revealed the iron-catalysed C−H borylation of 2-phenylpyridine derivatives with 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane ([H-B-9-BBN]2) operates through hidden catalysis with the iron salt med...
