The indole ring itself consists of a six-membered benzene ring fused with a five ... selective chemical modifications at its C5 reaction site have been difficult. Addressing this challenge ...

July 31, 2020 — A team has developed a new method of synthesis for three-dimensional nanocarbons, utilizing a catalytic reaction to connect benzene rings and create an eight-membered ring structure.

1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions are well known transformations in organic synthesis, however, the reactivity of benzene rings in these processes ... mechanical chirality. Indole-5,6-quinone (IQ ...

Qiu et al. now report remarkable chemistry that selectively ruptures a single C–C bond in the aromatic ring of benzene derivatives. The reaction uses a strong chemical oxidant (sodium azide ...

so they are used as a source of benzene rings in organic synthesis. For example, a chemical reaction that generates ...

The starting materials are a benzenediacetaldehyde (a benzene ring with two aldehydes attached), and two equivalents of a phenyl alkyne. The reaction is facilitated by a Lewis acid. Intuitively, one ...
