‘Most chemists today would not think about trying to make an anti-Bredt olefin because it’s thought to be very challenging because of this rule,’ says Neil Garg, at the University of California, US.

Scientists have just broken a 100-year-old chemistry rule and synthesized a type of 3D, unstable molecule called an anti-Bredt olefin. Scientists have broken a 100-year-old chemistry rule to ...
