Organic synthesis is based on carbon-carbon bond formation. Aldol condensation is one of the key reactions, forming a new β-hydroxy carbonyl compound through the reaction of two carbonyl compounds.

Scientists have made significant progress in developing cancer therapies that help patients across cancer types. However, they face limitations in determining the results of drug effectiveness, as ...

Carbonyls (C=O groups) are popular reactive handles. But carbonylation reactions, which create these useful groups by appending carbon monoxide to aryl halides or alkyl halides with the help of a ...

Scientists at Scripps Research have used rapid alternating current (AC) to selectively reduce carbonyl groups (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2021, DOI: 10.1021/jacs.1c06572). The technique avoids side reactions ...

Chemists have developed a new and improved way to generate molecules that can enable the design of new types of synthetic drugs. Chemists at The Ohio State University have developed a new and improved ...
