One way to synthesize complex organic molecules is to assemble them from fragments of simpler molecules using a metal catalyst. Chemists can choose from a wide variety of readily available starting materials, and a single operation can form molecules with multiple sites for making stereoisomers (mirror-image molecules). …

Dendralenes highly branched molecules with multiple carbon−carbon double bonds have become versatile and economical synthetic building blocks. The first general synthetic route to [3]dendralenes, which contain 3 double bonds, was reported in 2019, and extensive research on these compounds has been published since then. …
