Skin is the body's first line of defense against an array of environmental hazards. But when our skin's natural oils react ...

During photosynthesis, an enzyme called rubisco catalyzes a key reaction—the incorporation of carbon dioxide into organic ...

For more than a century, the well-known 18-electron rule has guided the field of organometallic chemistry. Now, researchers ...

Controlling regioselectivity remains one of the major challenges in hydrocyanation. When an unsymmetrical alkyne undergoes ...

Reactions of various diketo compounds with (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane (Me3SiCF3) in the presence of catalytic amounts of cesium fluoride have been studied. γ-Ketoesters, CH3COCH2CH2CO2R (R = ...

The arylation of ethyl acetoacetate, ethyl benzoyl acetate, and diethyl malonate under the catalysis of CuI/l-proline in DMSO proceeds smoothly at 40−50 °C in the presence of Cs2CO3 to provide the ...

Biofiltration has emerged as a promising, environmentally sustainable technology for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from industrial and urban emission streams. This process ...

Through their enormous catalytic potential and ability to couple multiple redox reactions of organic or inorganic compounds, the microorganisms can in turn modify these environments and affect ...

A new stable 20-electron derivative of ferrocene has been synthesized, challenging the long-standing textbook 18-electron ...

"Each new detection brings us closer to understanding the origins of complex organic chemistry in the universe — and perhaps, ...
