A research group led by chemist Thomas Magauer has accomplished a divergent strategy to synthesize nine complex natural compounds. The developed method requires significantly less time and results in ...

A team has introduced a strategy for converting carbon-nitrogen atom pairs in a frequently used ring-shaped compound into carbon-carbon atom pairs. The method has potential in the quest for active ...

Researchers at the UC Davis Institute for Psychedelics and Neurotherapeutics have found a route to synthesize the psychoactive drug ibogaine and related compounds. This will make it easier to study ...

The molecular-scale design of materials is one of the major frontiers in modern science. Flat, highly conjugated organic molecules are already used in advanced technologies such as chemical sensors, ...

Capitalizing on recent techniques for synthesizing arynes (the left and right organic molecules shown as reactants), researchers developed an innovative way of joining them using thiourea, creating a ...

In agriculture and medicine, isothiourea plays an important role as an important synthetic intermediate. As well as being potent inhibitors of biological targets, isothioureas can be used as ...

Researchers tested a strategy for developing single-atom catalysts that may help us develop more efficient methods for water purification. All humans need clean water to live. However, purifying water ...

What are Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs)? Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) are composed of light elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon, connected by strong covalent bonds, providing ...
