Chemical groups containing oxygen, nitrogen, silicon, and other heteroatoms often react during alkene coupling reactions, generating undesirable product mixtures. But a new, iron-catalyzed radical ...

Cyclopropanes are a common motif in medicinal chemistry. Three-carbon rings show up in drug structures for conditions including asthma, psoriasis, and COVID-19. But despite its utility, cyclopropane ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a highly efficient cell-free enzyme system that converts ...

Methoxy substituents on aromatic molecules are powerful directing groups, widely used in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions and directed ortho-metallation reactions. And although their ...

In a cooperation between the Universities of Groningen and Amsterdam (The Netherlands) and the European Laboratory for Non-Linear Spectroscopy (Italy), researchers have been able to substantially ...
