How can aromatic compounds be separated from aliphatic compounds efficiently without having to rely on energy-intensive processes? In an article published in the journal Angewandte Chemie ...
Scientists at the Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo) have successfully realized the highly selective asymmetric 1,6 addition of aliphatic Grignard reagents to α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated carbonyl ...
The early work on the sulfonation of aliphatic compounds is described in Suter's book;1 there are also several general references 2 6 which include the use of chlorosulfonic acid in the sulfonation of ...
Jonathan A. Sorbie is in the Department of Chemistry, New York University, New York City, New York 10003, USA. Finding a life-changing drug molecule is like playing the lottery — only one out of ...
Aliphatic alcohols are cheap, widely available, and very stable building blocks for chemical synthesis and drug discovery. Now, a team of chemists has found a way to add functional groups to them in ...
A novel diiron(IV) complex exceeds the bond-breaking capabilities of its predecessors by being able to cleave strong C–H and O–H bonds, reports a research team led by Lawrence Que Jr. of the ...
Work on stellar nucleosynthesis in the 1950s has led to our current realization that most of the chemical elements are synthesized in stars. Helium is made by hydrogen burning in the core during the ...
Enhanced anaerobic bioremediation (EAB) is the newest technology in our continuously evolving biological treatment for chlorinated solvent contaminated groundwater. Developments in our understanding ...
The reaction utilizes an iron catalyst together with an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand, which suppresses unwanted side reactions to promote highly selective nucleophile addition. In organic ...
