In situ reaction rate measurements help to define the role of product inhibition in the asymmetric alkylation of benzaldehyde with diethylzinc using (−)-MIB as a chiral reagent. Reaction calorimetry ...

An intriguing class of quinones that efficiently catalyze the air oxidation (overall hydroxylation) of arylboronic acids to the corresponding phenol is reported. Autocatalysis in the parent system is ...
