Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is a notorious greenhouse gas and also a promising building block in synthetic chemistry due to its abundance, easy availability, nontoxicity, and recyclability. However, the ...

Researchers have developed a new reaction to produce chlorinated compounds with high isomeric purity. Such compounds are important building blocks for target molecules. However the molecules come in ...

This is one of the currently active research projects associated with the chemistry and biochemistry department. Learn how you can be involved with research as a Calvin student. Let's go smaller. And ...

C-H activation-based method should speed drug molecule design and diversification. Scripps Research chemists have accomplished a long elusive feat in synthetic chemistry: the invention of a broadly ...

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 ...

Strecker synthesis is one of several means of producing α-amino acids. α-amino acids are molecules, which contain an amine and carboxylic group that are separated by a single carbon (the α-carbon).

Researchers at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation have developed a scalable flow chemistry method ...

Toyohashi University of Technology researchers led by Associate Professor Shibatomi developed new catalytic reaction to produce chlorine-containing organic molecules in isomerically pure (left- or ...
