Researchers have developed a new reaction to produce chlorinated compounds with high isomeric purity. Such compounds are important building blocks for target molecules. However the molecules come in ...

Resorcinol, 4-nitrobenzonitrile, methanesulfonic acid, thionyl chloride and triethylamine were purchased from TCI (Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). Microcrystalline cellulose was ...

This is one of the currently active research projects associated with the chemistry and biochemistry department. Learn how you can be involved with research as a Calvin student. Let's go smaller. And ...

A chemist from RUDN University has created copper-based catalysts that do not require high pressure and temperature in the synthesis of carboxylic acids and alcohols from oil and gas. They are ...

C-H activation-based method should speed drug molecule design and diversification. Scripps Research chemists have accomplished a long elusive feat in synthetic chemistry: the invention of a broadly ...

Strecker synthesis is one of several means of producing α-amino acids. α-amino acids are molecules, which contain an amine and carboxylic group that are separated by a single carbon (the α-carbon).

Boron—the beloved oddball of the periodic table—can do some unique chemistry, thanks to its empty p-orbital. This has made boronic acids and boronate esters indispensable components in many compounds, ...

One of the important objectives of green chemistry is the use of eco-friendly solvents and catalysts to perform chemical reactions. Catalysts such as organocatalysts, enzymes, and ionic liquids have ...

Toyohashi University of Technology researchers led by Associate Professor Shibatomi developed new catalytic reaction to produce chlorine-containing organic molecules in isomerically pure (left- or ...
