Chemical groups containing oxygen, nitrogen, silicon, and other heteroatoms often react during alkene coupling reactions, generating undesirable product mixtures. But a new, iron-catalyzed radical ...

Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes ...

A team of scientists at Rice University has developed a new organic synthesis method to form carbon-carbon bonds essential for natural product and pharmace | Chemistry And Physics ...

Sequential decarboxylation lets chemists attach electron-rich groups to carbon-carbon double bonds ...

This lesson is designed for the NEW AQA Trilogy Chemistry GCSE, particularly the ‘Organic Chemistry’ SoW. Students are firstly introduced to the idea of a ‘homologous series’ and look at how this ...

When chemists design drug candidates, shape matters enormously. Many active pharmaceutical ingredients contain branched carbon structures—points where the molecular chain forks in a specific direction ...

A new technique produces hydrogen radicals using mild conditions and off-the-shelf reagents. The method eliminates the harsh conditions that have previously been required to generate these extremely ...
