We report a heterogeneous copper-catalyzed C=C double-bond cleavage, which enables the remodeling of complex molecules by converting the carbons on either side of the C=C double bond to carbonyl and cyano groups, respectively. In particular, this method provides an efficient protocol to conveniently transform terpenoids, glycals, steroids, and bioactive molecules to privileged scaffolds with underexplored chemical space.
This study demonstrates the feasibility of transforming mixed polyolefin waste into essential nitrogen-containing chemicals. Such a conversion provides a new upcycling strategy for waste polyolefins with diverse molecular compositions.
We have demonstrated a novel method to convert benzene derivatives to high-value polyunsaturated acyclic molecules, which involves an unusual mechanism with carbene intermediates.
Herein, we develop an EDA complex photocatalytic system through rational design, which overcomes the oxygen-sensitive limitation of traditional EDA photocatalytic systems and enables aerobic oxygenation reactions through dioxygen activation.
We report a catalytic aerobic oxidative approach for polyolefins upcycling with the corresponding carboxylic acids as the product. This method encompasses three key innovations
