The chemical industry is one of the largest on Earth, essential for supplying us with pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, ...

In the past few years, researchers have turned increasingly to data science techniques to aid problem-solving in organic synthesis. The software adapts key principles of Bayesian Optimization (BO) to ...

Scientists have developed a simple, low-cost method to drive key chemical reactions, which could make large-scale drug ...

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 ...

SN1 and SN2 reactions are fundamental types of nucleophilic substitution in organic chemistry, each with distinct mechanisms ...

Chemists have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes. Chemists from the National University of ...

It has been almost a quarter-century since K. Barry Sharpless, M.G. Finn, and Hartmuth C. Kolb published the paper that some refer to as the click manifesto. In it, the researchers presented a vision ...

Two new catalytic strategies offer ways to boost the Fischer–Tropsch process by preventing competing side reactions. The ...

Click reactions—the subject of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry—come in many forms, but they all share a few key features. Namely, click chemistry forges new chemical bonds quickly, selectively, and ...

Science Theories That Are So Strange They Must Be True: Chemistry is more than just wearing lab coats, safety goggles, and ...
