Carbon-rich, conjugated organic scaffolding is a popular basis for functional materials, especially for electronic and photonic applications. However, synthetic methods for generating these types of materials lack diversity ...

A method to conduct the one-pot, meta cyanation of arenes by iridium-catalyzed C-H borylation and copper-mediated cyanation of the resulting arylboronate esters is described in Chapter 2. This process relies on a previously ...

The selective formation of new carbon-carbon bonds is a central challenge for organic synthesis; organic molecules are based on carbon scaffolds which must be assembled from simple building blocks. Since Kolbe performed ...
