Dual catalysts help synthesize alpha-olefins into new organic compounds

Thursday, December 19, 2013 - 17:30 in Physics & Chemistry

Boston College chemists have developed a new chemical synthesis methodology that converts chemicals known as alpha-olefins into new organic compounds. By combining a pair of catalytic reactions in sequence, the researchers converted inexpensive and plentiful chemicals into new boron-containing organic compounds prized by researchers.
