The addition of a carbene catalyst to the aldehyde moiety of 2-hydroxyl aryl aldehyde eventually enables dearomatization and remote OH activation. The catalytic process generates a type of carbene ...

Carbenes are highly reactive carbon-based chemicals that can be used in many different types of reactions. For decades, scientists have wanted to use carbene reactions in the manufacturing of ...

The researchers could experimentally confirm, as part of the study, this "zipper-type" mechanism in which the carbene molecules work together on the gold surface to join two rows of gold atoms ...

The consortium and its flagship event encourage research, foster collaborations, and publicize new developments in metal carbene chemistry and related areas internationally. “Dr. Doyle has organized ...
