Arynes are highly reactive organic intermediates featuring a triple bond within an aromatic ring. Their strong reactivity ...

Researchers report that carboxylic acids, functional groups contained in biomolecules, drugs, and materials can be readily modified by light-induced organic reactions using an aminocyclopropenone.

All chemicals must be handled with care as many of them are potentially hazardous; consult the safety documentation for each chemical. Wear personal protective clothing (lab coat, suitable gloves, ...

Carboxylic acids can undergo reduction reactions. Reduction is the opposite of oxidation. For example, ethanoic acid (CH 3 COOH) can be formed by the oxidation of ethanol as shown below. As reduction ...

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 ...

Polymers play an important role in the biomedical field, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) and its derivatives are among the multifunctional polymers that have attracted much attention. PEG is a synthetic ...
