A new catalyst strategy developed at Institute of Science Tokyo uses BaSi2 as a support for nickel and cobalt to decompose ...

Transition metals-enabled cross-coupling reactions are widely recognized as among the most significant catalysis tools available to chemists. By employing a third reactant, a team of researchers ...

Controlling regioselectivity remains one of the major challenges in hydrocyanation. When an unsymmetrical alkyne undergoes this reaction, it typically yields a mixture of regioisomers. This ...

Figure 1: Overview of allylic amines synthesis and vinylation reactions. Given the unexpected and unusual coupling of ketimines with vinyl bromides in the absence of added catalyst, a synergistic ...

Aluminum's journey has been remarkable, going from being more expensive than gold to one of the most widely used materials, ...

In the production of compounds, chemists have the goal of finding strategies that are most selective and avoid waste products. This helps to drive industrial innovation and drug development. In this ...

A discovery by UCLA organic chemists may one day put catalytic converter thieves out of business. In new research, they've ...

For centuries, the best chemists in the world struggled every day to create the molecules that your own cells manufacture every second. Then they discovered how one group of atoms let them make stuff ...

Researchers have uncovered an unusual new form of aluminium that challenges long-held assumptions about how this common metal behaves. Researchers at King’s College London have identified an unusual ...
