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 ...

Purpose To recognize and encourage outstanding contributions to research in organic chemistry. Description The award consists of a medallion, a certificate, and $25,000. The award is presented ...

In this episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry we’re diving deeper into aldehydes and ketones by focusing on addition reactions of oxygen and nitrogen based nucleophiles.

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.

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 ...

Learn about careers in organic chemistry - the study of the structure, properties, and reactions of compounds and materials that contain carbon atoms.

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 ...

One of the important objectives of green chemistry is the use of eco-friendly solvents and catalysts to perform chemical reactions.

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, ...

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 ...
