Scientists have been naming ideas, theorems, discoveries, and so on after other scientists for a very long time (Newton’s laws of motion, anyone?). Chemists are no different. They’ve been naming ...

Asymmetric ring‐opening reactions of bicyclic alkenes have emerged as a transformative approach in modern synthetic chemistry. These reactions capitalise on the inherent ring strain of fused cyclic ...

As a footnote to Mark M. Green’s letter on how to make organic chemistry “be part of understanding the wider world, to be worth knowing” (Jan. 2, 2023, page 3), I wish to illustrate my approach to “a ...

The reactivity series ranks metals by how readily they react. More reactive metals displace less reactive metals from their compounds and react with water. Redox, rusting and iron - (CCEA) Oxidation ...

In a feat of manipulating substances at the nanoscale, new research demonstrates a method to isolate two molecules together on a substrate and to control specifically how those two molecules react ...

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 ...

The questions in this quiz are suitable for GCSE chemistry students studying addition polymerisation, alcohols and reactions of alkenes. If you struggled with the quiz, don't panic - we've got you!

Penn State researchers have uncovered a surprising twist in a foundational chemical reaction known as oxidative addition. Typically believed to involve transition metals donating electrons to organic ...

NEET 2020: Check important name reactions of Organic Chemistry which might be asked in NEET 2020. These reactions are from NCERT textbooks (11th & 12th) and CBSE Syllabus. Two to three questions are ...
