A research team reports they have created an organic reaction called α-allylation with simple ketones and allyl alcohols.

You have full access to this article via your institution. Here we report the first examples of catalytic hydrogenation of organic carbonates to alcohols and organic carbamates to alcohols and amines, ...

The scope of dynamic combinatorial chemistry is somewhat limited by the small number of predictably reversible reactions. Now, secondary alcohols are shown to quickly and reversibly react with iminium ...

Organic chemistry is the scientific study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and synthesis of organic compounds that by definition contain carbon. It is a specific discipline within ...

Symposium organizers drew attention to a session earlier this month at the ACS national meeting in San Diego with a provocative title: “Is There a Crisis in Organic Chemistry Education?” But many of ...

Organic chemistry makes much of modern life possible. The highly creative science finds ways to make and break chemical bonds to produce increasingly complex materials. The field enables the ...

Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds. Most organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, but they may ...

Crude oil is a finite resource. Petrol and other fuels are produced from it by fractional distillation. These fuels are non-renewable resources. Cracking helps match supply of fractions with demand.
