The Diels-Alder reaction is the most iconic organic chemistry reaction. Scientists now report on exactly how this chemical reaction, discovered in 1928, occurs. In 1928, chemists Otto Diels and Kurt ...
Organic chemistry students and bench chemists alike rely on the Grignard reaction, a relatively simple way to make carbon-carbon bonds. But even though the reaction was first described 120 years ago, ...
Payal Joshi draws inspiration for organic mechanisms from graceful avian poses ...
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 ...
The research team of Xumu Zhang and Genqiang Chen at Southern University of Science and Technology has achieved a new breakthrough in the synthesis and application of benzoxoxetine ligands. They ...
Recent inroads made in chemistry seemingly have little to do with historical techniques that advanced the central science. The discovery of a new organic reaction or mechanism, invention of click ...
