Abstract
The conversion of natural alkanes and aromatics into chemical intermediates is an important aspect of industrial-scale chemical synthesis. But as Jones explains in this Perspective, the controlled conversion of hydrocarbons into the desired intermediates remains a challenge. He discusses two papers, Jiaet al. and Chenet al., which report important advances in the catalytic conversion of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons into useful, reactive products.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
