Researchers develop a one pot process to transform aromatic ketones to esters, offering advancements in pharmaceutical synthesis and materials science. Aromatic ketones have traditionally been ...

Multi-titanium hydrides can selectively snip the strong structural bonds of stable organic molecules called pyridines, RIKEN researchers have shown. This discovery could guide designing catalysts for ...

Aromatic compounds are common growth substrates for microorganisms and are also prominent environmental pollutants. The crucial step in their degradation is to overcome the huge resonance energy that ...

The term aromaticity is a basic, long-standing concept in chemistry that is well established for ring-shaped carbon compounds. Aromatic rings consisting solely of metal atoms were, however, heretofore ...

A high-yield, one-pot, scalable reaction facilitates the production of biologically relevant amide compounds using less reactive nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds and carboxylic acid without ...

Aromatic rings are important in medicines and agricultural products, but attaching functional groups to them is a persnickety process. Chemists can only add substituents at specific positions on the ...

Gabriel Isaacman-VanWertz, lead scientist on a new study published in Nature Chemistry and assistant professor in Virginia Tech's department of civil and environmental engineering, has established a ...
