"Applications to the development of bioactive benzofurans, the synthesis of various heteroaromatics through similar reaction mechanisms, and theoretical studies with density functional theory ...

Researchers have succeeded in clarifying a new synthesis mechanism regarding transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD), which are semiconductor atomic sheets having thickness in atomic order.

explaining that the team had to develop new furan synthesis approaches to overcome lower yields of 15% versus 70% compared to traditional thiophene-based synthesis. “We also had to explore new ...
