A visible-light-initiated deaminative alkylation/cyclization of isocyanophenylquinazolinones with Katritzky salts for the synthesis of polycyclic quinazolinone derivatives has been developed. This ...

Two Chinese nationals have been charged with smuggling a plant pathogen into the US for research at a University of Michigan laboratory, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on 3 June. The couple ...

We report Pd-catalyzed direct C–H arylation of thiazole, where the regioselective outcome is controlled by the appropriate selection of a base and a ligand. Employing Pd/PPh3/NaOtBu in the reaction ...

A new catalytic reaction produces ammonia from atmospheric nitrogen and water, with sunlight as the only energy input. The process potentially offers a cleaner way to make the compound, which is an ...
