Dioxiranes are three-membered cyclic peroxides characterised by a highly strained O–O bond and marked electrophilicity. Since the pioneering use of dimethyldioxirane for alkene epoxidation, dioxiranes ...
Organocatalytic annulations represent a powerful strategy for the construction of cyclic frameworks using exclusively organic catalysts. By leveraging chiral amines, phosphines or cinchona alkaloid ...
Professor Zaifa Shi's team at Xiamen University developed an ultra-high temperature flash vacuum pyrolysis (UT-FVP) device to form giant fullerenes from single-carbon molecules within a short time (15 ...
