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 ...

The Biginelli reaction, first reported over a century ago, represents a robust three‐component condensation strategy to synthesise 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones (DHPMs) from accessible substrates ...

Scientists at the EU4MOFs research network have taken the initiative to standardize the reporting of synthetic procedures and material properties of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). To this aim, they ...

Multi-titanium hydrides can selectively snip the strong structural bonds of stable organic molecules called pyridines, RIKEN researchers have shown. This discovery could guide designing catalysts for ...

A team has shown that artificial photosynthesis is feasible using organic materials. Using the technique, they successfully synthesized useful organic compounds, including pharmaceutical materials, ...

The large language model automates literature search, synthesis, and structural analysis to speed up materials discovery and ...

Scientists introduce a large language model-based AI system that revolutionizes chemistry by integrating 18 advanced tools for tasks like organic synthesis and drug discovery. EPFL scientists ...

Diastereomers are structurally identical molecules that are not mirror images of each other. Diastereomers can have different ...

Reactive intermediates, such as carbocations, carbanions, radicals, carbenes, nitrenes, and organometallic species, play a crucial role in organic syntheses, yet their transient nature makes them ...

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 ...

A computer file that stores information on how scientists synthesise and characterise metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) could ...
