Organic chemistry students and bench chemists alike rely on the Grignard reaction, a relatively simple way to make carbon-carbon bonds. But even though the reaction was first described 120 years ago, ...
α-Chiral amines are of significant importance in medicinal chemistry, asymmetric synthesis and material science, but methods for their efficient synthesis are scarce. In particular, the synthesis of α ...
In 1912, Victor Grignard was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery of what came to be known as Grignard reagents. Since then, these compounds have come to play a key role in the ...
The reaction utilizes an iron catalyst together with an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand, which suppresses unwanted side reactions to promote highly selective nucleophile addition. In organic ...
A new method for creating one of chemistry’s most widely used class of compounds could revolutionize industrial processes, making them cheaper, simpler and more environmentally friendly. A group of ...
Brugger. J. E., M.S. Thesis, Penn. State College (1946). This apparatus was essentially like that of La Mer and Reed (J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 52, 3098; 1930), with the fraction which had reacted down the ...
During a symposium in June, the ACS Division of the History of Chemistry (HIST) awarded the Citation for Chemical Breakthrough to the University of Lyon, in France, in honor of the institution’s role ...
