The electron is an efficient catalyst for conducting various types of radical cascade reaction that proceed by way of radical and radical ion intermediates. But because electrons are omnipresent, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a strategy that could give a boost to the development of pyridine-containing drugs and organic functional materials. Scientists have developed a strategy that could give a ...

Water is called the universal solvent for its ability to dissolve a broad range of chemicals. But you wouldn’t know that from spending time in chemistry labs, where the solvents of choice are almost ...

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 ...

Organic chemistry is a scientific area of study that is used to describe the structure, properties, composition, reactions and preparation of all chemical compounds containing the element carbon. Some ...

Organic chemistry is perhaps one of the most dreaded courses in the premedical curriculum. Some aspiring doctors even give up on their goal of going to medical school because they are deterred by the ...
