How can you use a ruthenium isomerization catalyst twice? A ruthenium-catalyzed
sequence for the formal two-carbon scission of allyl groups to carboxylic acids has been …

Lignin is the most abundant renewable feedstock to produce aromatic chemicals, however
its depolymerisation involves the breaking of several C–O and C–C inter-unit linkages that …

A total of 16 oxidizing reagents were screened to compare their oxidation selectivities for
axial and equatorial hydroxyl moieties using steroidal methyl chenodeoxycholate, methyl …

Efficient catalytic oxidative C–H activation of organic substrates remains an important
