CHEM.2210 is the first course of a two-semester sequence of organic chemistry for students majoring in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Biological Sciences as well as pre-medical, pre-dental, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Medicinal chemistry encompasses the design and synthesis of novel bioactive compounds that have the potential to become drugs. It typically involves cycles of iterative optimization of compounds to ...

Asymmetric organocatalysis is a widely used technique and especially important to the drug discovery process. Biologically active molecules are often chiral, and organocatalysts provide a way to make ...
