Partners in catalysis: An efficient route to unsaturated ketones

98

In organic chemistry, discovering new reactions is one thing, but to carry them off efficiently is quite another. Carbon-carbon bond-forming is at the heart of organic synthesis, allowing us to stitch together diverse functional groups into an endless array of useful compounds. Now researchers have neatly streamlined one of the most important of those reactions.
