In contrast to conventional organic synthesis, mechanochemistry does not use solvents that eventually become industrial wastes. Thus, mechanochemistry is environmentally friendly and enables us to ...

This new cerium-based catalyst interconverts between two oxidation states with distinct chemical properties, enabling two completely different reactions to occur in the same container. Most of the ...

Researchers have discovered a new way to drive chemical reactions that could generate a wide variety of azetidines -- four-membered nitrogen heterocycles that have desirable pharmaceutical properties.

Heterocyclic compounds are organic molecules with a ring structure comprising at least two or more elements. In most cases, these rings are composed of carbon atoms along with one or more other ...

Chemistry is all around us. From the widespread production of global food supplies to the metabolism that fuels the tiniest of microorganisms, everything in our surroundings is produced and controlled ...

Scientists have long considered ketones (a fundamental chemical class) and esters (molecules formed when an acid reacts with an alcohol) to be locked treasure chests of possibilities. Ubiquitous as ...

In the past few years, researchers have turned increasingly to data science techniques to aid problem-solving in organic synthesis. The software adapts key principles of Bayesian Optimization (BO) to ...

I am writing to express my displeasure regarding the letter to the editor by Julian Tyson (C&EN, March 14/21, 2022, page 5) about “metal-free” reactions (Feb. 14, 2022, page 20). Specifically, my ...

Researchers have discovered that common chemical reactions accelerate Brownian diffusion by sending long-range ripples into the surrounding solvent. Steve Granick, Director of the IBS Center for Soft ...

Strategic collaboration establishes a framework to integrate automated experimentation and advanced chemistry workflows to accelerate research and discovery in Life Science and Electronics SINGAPORE ...
