How can aromatic compounds be separated from aliphatic compounds efficiently without having to rely on energy-intensive processes? In an article published in the journal Angewandte Chemie ...

Scientists at the Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo) have successfully realized the highly selective asymmetric 1,6 addition of aliphatic Grignard reagents to α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated carbonyl ...

The early work on the sulfonation of aliphatic compounds is described in Suter's book;1 there are also several general references 2 6 which include the use of chlorosulfonic acid in the sulfonation of ...

The effects of heteroatoms on the mass spectra of organic molecules may be loosely grouped by regarding the heteroatom either as a simple saturated substituent in an alkane or as an unsaturated ...

Jonathan A. Sorbie is in the Department of Chemistry, New York University, New York City, New York 10003, USA. Finding a life-changing drug molecule is like playing the lottery — only one out of ...

THE formation of diazonium complexes from unsaturated amines is not a unique property of the aromatic series. Many, but not all, unsaturated heterocyclic amines respond similarly 1. With aliphatic ...

Organocatalysts consisting of organic compounds without metal elements are receiving much attention as next generation catalysts in the hope of reducing environmental burden and coping with exhaustion ...

A novel diiron(IV) complex exceeds the bond-breaking capabilities of its predecessors by being able to cleave strong C–H and O–H bonds, reports a research team led by Lawrence Que Jr. of the ...

Enhanced anaerobic bioremediation (EAB) is the newest technology in our continuously evolving biological treatment for chlorinated solvent contaminated groundwater. Developments in our understanding ...

The reaction utilizes an iron catalyst together with an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand, which suppresses unwanted side reactions to promote highly selective nucleophile addition. In organic ...
