A reaction sequence involves multiple steps, each transforming the starting material into an intermediate product until the ...

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 ...

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 ...

To accurately draw the organic product of a reaction, follow these steps: The first step is to carefully examine the given reaction and identify all the reactants and reagents involved. Knowing their ...

Learn about how 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 ...

I am writing to express my displeasure regarding the letter to the editor by Julian Tyson (C&EN, March 14/21, 2022, page 5) about “metal-free” reactions (Feb. 14, 2022, page 20). Specifically, my ...

Driven by the increasing complexity of synthetic targets and the need for efficient, selective and environmentally benign synthetic methods, the past decade has seen tremendous innovation and reaction ...
