Recent technological advances have opened new possibilities for the efficient and sustainable synthesis of various valuable chemicals. Some of these advances rely on nanotechnologies, systems or ...

Mechanochemical synthesis harnesses mechanical energy to drive chemical transformations under solvent‐minimised or solvent-free conditions. This approach, frequently executed by ball milling or liquid ...

I am writing to express my displeasure regarding the letter to the editor by Julian Tyson (C&EN, March 14/21, 2022, page 5) about “metal-free” reactions (Feb. 14, 2022, page 20). Specifically, my ...

Highly reactive organometallic reagents, like organolithiums (molecules with a carbon–lithium bond) are essential reagents in organic synthesis because of their applications from polymer synthesis to ...

With artificial intelligence, scientists can design increasingly complex small molecule structures. Automation is critical for transforming these compounds from designs on a screen into actual ...

Chemists from ETH Zurich have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound. This method opens up new possibilities for the synthesis of tailored protein ...

This module explores the synthesis of amines with a focus on the reductive amination reaction. Numerous examples from the discovery and commercial manufacturing of pharmaceuticals are included. After ...

Researchers  led by Prof. ZHANG Xiqi from the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a photocatalytic membrane reactor that dramatically ...
