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

Carboxylic acids are ubiquitous in bioactive organic molecules and readily available chemical building blocks. Carboxylic ...

Organic synthesis is taught either as an independent part of organic programs or as an important topic of that course. If teachers give little self-reflective guidance during the organic synthesis ...

Coupling reactions are among the most transformative tools in organic chemistry, enabling the formation of crucial chemical bonds in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials. Since their ...

Chemists have used sealed glass capillaries to perform pyrazole isomerisation reactions at temperatures as hot as 500°C. By demonstrating that capillary synthesis is a viable way to perform ...

While [2+2+2] reactions are well-established, producing compounds with the desired chirality using [2+2+1] reactions is challenging. In a study published in the journal Nature Synthesis, a research ...

Organic analysis alone—the attempt to determine the composition of organic compounds—hit a complete deadlock and was never going to solve this problem.
