Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing ...
A team of Penn State researchers has found that a fundamental reaction in transition metal chemistry, called oxidative addition, can follow a different path to achieve the same ends.
Chemistry 101. Back in high school, we had to draw by hand the hexagons and pentagons and all the various lines representing bonds of organic molecules.Now we've brought up a system that takes the ...
Name reactions are commonly heard in organic chemistry-speak, and they’re mainly named after white men. Stereo Chemistry asks if this is a problem, if we should stop using them, and how to make ...
Several important reactions are performed with ascorbic acid: These include the oxidation of amines to carbonyl compounds, cross-coupling of disulfides with aryl iodides, ATRA of polyhalogenated ...
When asked to think of a chemical reaction, you might picture bubbling liquids in a beaker, or maybe applying heat to a ...
Unraveling the origin stories of the Tissint meteorite's organic compounds can help scientists understand whether the Red Planet ever hosted life, as well as Earth's geologic history.
In two such reactions, the Nobel Prize–winning Suzuki and Negishi cross couplings, a transition-metal catalyst helps boron or zinc compounds—which are made from lithium or magnesium reagents ...
IN NATURE and elsewhere, Prof. M. W. Travers and his collaborators have published the results of experiments on gaseous decomposition reactions, and have claimed that in a number of respects their ...
