In contrast to conventional organic synthesis, mechanochemistry does not use solvents that eventually become industrial wastes. Thus, mechanochemistry is environmentally friendly and enables us to ...

When it comes to electrochemistry, the first thing that pops into mind probably isn’t C–H activation or arene cross-coupling reactions. You might think of batteries and solar cells, or industrial ...

Azides are chemical compounds widely used in synthetic organic chemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, and materials chemistry. However, conventional synthesis methods for azide compounds have severe ...

Researchers from Japan have now proposed a novel strategy for synthesizing inaoside A from two major compounds: a ribofuranosyl trichloroacetimidate (left) and an aglycone (right). Natural compounds ...

In a recent review article, a research team outlined recent progress in transition metal-free techniques to achieve coupling. Their combined efforts in these methods could help minimize waste and ...

Sponsored by Organic Reactions Inc. and Organic Syntheses Inc. Samuel J. Danishefsky has been called one of the most inventive synthetic chemists of the day. In fact, "the central quest of his ...

Synthetic organic chemistry has undergone a paradigm shift over the past 15 years with new metal-catalyzed transformations enabling bond formation in ways that chemists previously only dreamed about.
