Most of the drugs, plastics, and industrial materials widely used today are produced through chemical reactions. In general, most high-performance and sophisticated substances have complex structures, ...

A research team sheds light on the synthesis of 2-aminonaphthalene-1,5-disulfonic acid (2-ANDSA) diazonium salt, ...

In the petroleum industry, chemists use a unique reaction called aromatic isomerization for the synthesis of aromatic compounds, in which the functional group (mainly hydrocarbon) on the carbon ...

A new approach to an established reaction boosts the ability to synthesize vinylic ethers—key building blocks for many ...

Experiments can be performed unattended 24/7, and all data are automatically saved and can be visualized and controlled either from the computer or touchscreen. Chemical synthesis reactors reinvent ...

In that experiment, direct current yielded a “sluggish reaction,” whereas rapidly alternating polarity gave total reduction of one of phthalimide’s carbonyl groups under otherwise identical ...

Electrochemical reactions for synthesis of organic compounds would find wider applications if they were independent of power supply. Now, researchers have exploited the flow of electrolytes in an ...

Stanley Miller, the chemist whose landmark experiment published in 1953 showed how some of the molecules of life could have formed on a young Earth, left behind boxes of experimental samples that ...
