Taking a cue from nature: Turning alcohols into alkylating agents

27 agosto 2015

Researchers have developed a dual catalyst system that directly installs alkyl groups — fragments containing singly bonded carbon and hydrogen atoms that have extremely useful properties for drug discovery — onto compounds called heteroarenes. The reported transformation is the first to successfully use alcohols as reagents in the so-called alkylation reaction.
