Tsukuba, Japan—Oxidative functionalization of hydrophobic compounds is an important research area from the perspective of effective utilization of natural resources and treatment and reuse of ...

Chemists show that a machine-based method prevents widespread 'bias' in chemical publications. Chemists often develop and optimise new chemical reactions using so-called model systems, i.e. simple, ...

University of Michigan and Carnegie Mellon University researchers have developed a new tool that makes greener chemistry more accessible. The tool, described in a study supported by the U.S. National ...

Macrolactones—large ring lactones—are core components of many natural products and pharmaceutical agents. Traditional synthetic routes rely on seco acids activated with condensing reagents, often ...

A new chemical reaction method is only as valuable as the chemistry it makes possible. So a paper that describes a new reaction will almost always include a table of compounds that researchers tested ...
