Functional group transformations are central to organic synthesis. Traditionally, the functionalities used in such transformations are highly active organic groups such as halogens, ester groups and ...

Aliphatic alcohols are cheap, widely available, and very stable building blocks for chemical synthesis and drug discovery. Now, a team of chemists has found a way to add functional groups to them in ...

Aliphatic glucosinolates (hereafter ‘glucosinolates’) are plant secondary metabolites derived from methionine. They occur in the Capparales, which includes several commercially important crops, and a ...

While many chemistries have been developed to incite C–H bonds to react, certain types of aliphatics stubbornly resist such transformations. Now, chemists at Princeton University and Merck & Co. have ...

How can aromatic compounds be separated from so-called aliphatic compounds efficiently without having to rely on energy-intensive processes? In the scientific journal Angewandte Chemie (Applied ...

The EPA must evaluate the risk of existing chemicals and has selected the first 10 for review. As part of our role, the American Council on Science and Health is producing risk-based evaluations of ...
