Lewis acid catalyzed tittle reaction of 1,3-dicycloalkenlidine ketones is recognized as so far the shortest and most effective 1-step method for construction of angular tricyclic scaffolds ...

Friedel-Crafts acylation is a chemical reaction that involves the introduction of an acyl group onto an aromatic ring using a ...

An FLP consists of a Lewis acid and a Lewis base that cannot fully react with each other due to spatial or electronic constraints. This "frustration" creates a highly reactive state, allowing ...
