Name reactions are commonly heard in organic chemistry-speak, and they&#8217;re mainly named after white men. <i>Stereo Chemistry</i> asks if this is a problem, if we should stop using them, and ...

In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry, we’ll learn about crossed aldol reactions, the formation of kinetic and thermodynamic enolates, hard and soft nucleophiles, conjugate addition ...

In this review, we report ascorbic acid-catalyzed reactions in organic synthesis. Several examples are included in this review to demonstrate that ascorbic acid is a versatile catalyst for the ...

Organic Reactions, Inc. and Organic Syntheses, Inc. History. The award was established in 1959 by Organic Syntheses, Inc. and Organic Reactions, Inc. and is co-sponsored by the ACS Division of Organic ...

Micellar chemistry—and chemistry in water in general—is often pitched as being more environmentally friendly than doing the same reactions in organic solvents, many of which are toxic.

Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds. Most organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, but they may ...

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 ...

Donald Watson's lab develops catalysts for reactions in organic chemistry. These catalysts are the molecular “tools” that take simple molecules and bring them together to create more complex molecules ...

A team of chemists and astronomers have made a discovery in the field of astrochemistry: the identification of cyanocoronene, the largest polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) ever detected in space.

Michael Taylor (standing), an assistant professor in UW’s Department of Chemistry, received an NSF CAREER Award. He will use his award to study biology through the use of organic chemistry. Here, ...
