Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing ...

The method has applications in organic chemistry, particularly within the pharmaceutical industry. A team of scientists has developed an electrochemical technique that enables precise, para-position ...

Controlling regioselectivity remains one of the major challenges in hydrocyanation. When an unsymmetrical alkyne undergoes ...

Reactions that alter organic scaffolds by a single atom are already proving useful, but time will tell if they’ll ...

Nature Chemistry - The vast number of known organic compounds and the reactions that connect them together can be thought of as a complex network. Analysing the organic chemistry universe in this ...

The University of California, Santa Barbara, chemist started in 2008 by demonstrating micellar chemistry is compatible with olefin cross-metathesis reactions, which are typically performed in an ...

For more than a century, the well-known 18-electron rule has guided the field of organometallic chemistry. Now, researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), in collaboration with ...

Gamma radiation can convert methane into a wide variety of products at room temperature, including hydrocarbons, oxygen-containing molecules, and amino acids, according to a new article published ...

The accomplishments of Assistant Professor Kathryn Perrine and her mentee, research assistant Chathura de Alwis, resulted in new insights into the chemical mechanisms of oxidation-reduction — or redox ...

Now, research by Bouwman's team found that ortho-benzyne, which was discovered inside TMC-1 only in August 2021, drives complex chemical reactions and is at least partly responsible for the ...

But cold or not, complex chemistry seems to be happening in stellar nurseries. TMC-1, in particular, contains surprising concentrations of relatively large organic molecules with names like ...
