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 ...

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 theoretical aspects of the study were led by Kendall Houk, a UCLA professor of chemistry and biochemistry who holds the Saul Winstein Chair in Organic Chemistry. Houk is a CNSI researcher.

Organic chemistry is the scientific study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and synthesis of organic compounds that by definition contain carbon. It is a specific discipline ...

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

IN classical organic chemistry, two empirical rules, each of limited application, summarize the regularities which have been observed to govern the formation of olefins from alkyl compounds. Hof ...

At N.Y.U., Students Were Failing Organic Chemistry. Who Was to Blame? Maitland Jones Jr., a respected professor, defended his standards. But students started a petition, and the university ...

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 ...

In winning the award on Wednesday, Dr. Sharpless became only the fifth person to win two Nobels, having received the chemistry prize in 2001 for his work on chirally catalyzed oxidation reactions.
