The catalytic ketonization of carboxylic acids is a pivotal reaction in the conversion of renewable feedstocks into value‐added chemicals and biofuels. This reaction couples two carboxylic acid ...

Carboxylic acids can carry out the same reactions as other acids, for example the reactions with metals and metal carbonate. Carboxylic acids are weak acids, and will react more slowly than other, ...

C-H activation-based method should speed drug molecule design and diversification. Scripps Research chemists have accomplished a long elusive feat in synthetic chemistry: the invention of a broadly ...
