Asymmetric ring‐opening reactions of bicyclic alkenes have emerged as a transformative approach in modern synthetic chemistry. These reactions capitalise on the inherent ring strain of fused cyclic ...

Reactions that completely break carbon-carbon double bonds have particular transformative power in synthesis. Ozonolysis, which splits one alkene into two carbonyl compounds using trioxygen, is widely ...

Azetidines, four-sided rings made of three carbon atoms and a nitrogen, are a handy molecular motif in applications as diverse as drug design and rocket fuels. The most efficient way to assemble them ...
