This module covers aldehydes and ketones as the substrates and products of redox reactions. Structure is explained with both Lewis structures and molecular orbitals to discuss mechanisms in the ...

Trimerization of commercially available coprostanone (a steroid ketone with a cis A/B ring junction) by treatment with titanium tetrachloride yields this unusual, chiral, cleft-containing molecule.

"It unlocks a new dimension of chemical synthesis ... "C-H bonds are incredibly strong, and the natural structure of ketones ...
