α-Alkylation of carbonyl compounds is one of the most useful carbon-carbon bond-forming methods in organic synthesis. Typically, alkylation reactions are achieved by regioselective abstraction of ...
The reaction utilizes an iron catalyst together with an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand, which suppresses unwanted side reactions to promote highly selective nucleophile addition. In organic ...
When highly unsaturated vegetable oils are heated at frying temperature (365 F) for extended periods--or even for half an hour--a highly toxic compound, HNE (4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal) forms in the ...
What every home cook should know about saturated and unsaturated fats. When we talk about cooking fats being saturated or unsaturated, we're actually talking about the proportion of saturated to ...
