New method for preparation of high-energy carbon-carbon double bonds

Wednesday, March 23, 2011 - 13:30 in Physics & Chemistry

A new catalytic chemical method for the synthesis of a large and important class of carbon-carbon double bonds has been developed by scientists from Boston College and MIT, the team reports in the journal Nature. The findings substantially expand the versatility of a set of metal-based catalysts discovered only three years ago by the researchers.
