Chemists have discovered that an ‘impossible’ reaction at cold temperatures actually occurs with vigour, which could change our understanding of how alcohols are formed and destroyed in space. To ...

When synthesizing new compounds, it is advantageous to have reactants that are widely available and a simple method which produces a high yield of products with little waste (undesirable byproducts).

A research team reports they have created an organic reaction called α-allylation with simple ketones and allyl alcohols.
