Direct C–H fluorination is an efficient strategy to construct aromatic C–F bonds, but the
cleavage of specific C–H bonds in the presence of other functional groups and the high …

The reason for the site selectivity previously reported for B (C6F5) 3-catalyzed C (sp3)–H
alkylation of tertiary amines with electron-deficient olefins remains a mystery. The selectivity …

One of the major goals of chemistry is to control chemical reactions with the purpose of
generating new compounds with useful properties. Control of a chemical reaction implies a …

We use quantum chemical calculations to elucidate a viable mechanism for pyridine-
catalyzed reduction of CO2 to methanol involving homogeneous catalytic steps. The first …

Theoretical simulations and experiments were taken to explore the mechanism of cellulose
conversion into 5-ethoxymethylfurfural (EMF) and ethyl levulinate (EL) catalyzed by a mixed …

Aryne insertions into the carbon‐iodine bond of heteroaryl iodides has been achieved for
the first time. This novel reaction provides an efficient pathway for the synthesis of valuable …

An effective catalytic strategy for the conversion of glucose to 5-ethoxymethylfurfural (EMF)
catalyzed by ultrastable Y zeolite (USY) in a co-solvent system was developed. Effects of co …

Hydrolytic enzymes are essential components in second‐generation biofuel technology and
food fermentation processes. Nanozymes show promise for large‐scale industrial …

Earlier work, both experimental and computational, has drawn attention to the transition
region in a chemical reaction, which includes the traditional transition state but extends …

A variety of experimental and computational analyses support the concept that a chemical
reaction has a transition region, in which the system changes from distorted states of the …
