The electrodes are coated with carbon nanotubes. As they flow through the reactor, the reactants interact weakly with the carbon nanotubes, exposing them to the electric field. This induces electronic ...

Generative AI models have been used to create enormous libraries of theoretical materials that could help solve all kinds of problems. Now, scientists ...

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 ...

In a recent paper published in the Journal of Organic Chemistry, researchers under the direction of Associate Professor Shinji Harada from Chiba University's Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences ...

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 ...

Skeletal editing is a modern approach to chemical synthesis. By making precise alterations at the atomic level, researchers are able to directly convert existing drug scaffolds into new, biologically ...
