The synthesis, which uses a photoswitchable hydrazone template, might also pave the way for new materials based on γ-cyclodextrin. Cyclodextrins—multiple glucose moieties linked together in a ...

Skipped dienes (also known as 1,4-dienes) can be found in certain insect pheromones, and vinyl cyclopropanes are useful building blocks in organic synthesis. Wilkerson-Hill says the chemists were ...

However, the classic Fischer indole synthesis produces a mix of both enantiomers ... During the reaction, a chiral hydrazone is first formed as an intermediate in both enantiomeric forms.

Hydrogen peroxide is a versatile oxidising agent, widely used in environmental disinfection, chemical synthesis ... through careful control of the hydrazone linkage density, and studied their ...
