Mechanochemical synthesis harnesses mechanical energy to drive chemical transformations under solvent‐minimised or solvent-free conditions. This approach, frequently executed by ball milling or liquid ...

When chemists design drug candidates, shape matters enormously. Many active pharmaceutical ingredients contain branched ...

Researchers develop a one pot process to transform aromatic ketones to esters, offering advancements in pharmaceutical synthesis and materials science. Aromatic ketones have traditionally been ...

The Benaglia Group at the Università degli Studi di Milano has published seven peer-reviewed papers over two and a half years ...

In chemical processes for producing pharmaceuticals, catalysts are a core technology that determines production speed and ...

A cheap, earth-abundant metal is proving it can do work long reserved for far more expensive catalysts, and the implications ...

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 ...

As an engineering plastic having high transparency and impact resistance, polycarbonate (PC) is employed in eyeglass lenses, camera lenses, DVDs, automobile headlights and bulletproof glass. The ...

With artificial intelligence, scientists can design increasingly complex small molecule structures. Automation is critical for transforming these compounds from designs on a screen into actual ...

Chemists from ETH Zurich have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound. This method opens up new possibilities for the synthesis of tailored protein ...

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 ...
