Catalytic activation of carbon-carbon bonds in cyclopentanones
Catalytic activation of carbon –carbon bonds in cyclopentanonesYing Xia, Gang Lu, Peng Liu& Guangbin DongNature 539, 546 –550 (24 November 2016) doi:10.1038/nature19849In the chemical industry, it is often necessary to activate carbon –carbon bonds in order to synthesize complex organic molecules, but this is challenging when starting with simple five- or six-membered carbon rings; a new method uses a rhodium pre-catalyst and an amino-pyridine co-catalyst, enabling an overall energetically favourable reaction that involves acti vation of carbon–carbon bonds plus activation of carbon–hydrogen bonds.  (Sou...
