Catalytic dehydration of butanediols and related compounds constitutes a critical chemical process for converting renewable diols into value‐added unsaturated compounds. This approach utilises ...
Acid catalysis by hydronium ions is ubiquitous in aqueous-phase organic reactions. Here we show that hydronium ion catalysis, exemplified by intramolecular dehydration of cyclohexanol, is markedly ...
Amides and thioesters are ubiquitous compounds in chemistry, used for the production of medicines, natural products, and advanced materials. Traditionally, their synthesis is a messy business, ...
