Many different methods were developed in his group to transform the sugars, which were overfunctionalised with hydroxyl groups of similar reactivity into simple chiral building blocks containing ...

Metals react differently. Some are very reactive and others are unreactive. Observations of reactions can be used to put metals into an order of reactivity. For example, copper is unreactive so it ...

Researchers have developed a novel fluorescent probe that precisely detects serotonin, a key factor in diagnosing and ...

This module covers aldehydes and ketones as the substrates and products of redox reactions. Structure is explained with both Lewis structures and molecular orbitals to discuss mechanisms in the ...

The word displace means to push out. A more reactive element can displace a less reactive element out of its compound during a chemical reaction. Displacement reactions can be used to investigate ...

Click reactions—the subject of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry—come in many forms, but they all share a few key features. Namely, click chemistry forges new chemical bonds quickly ...

Reaction Chemistry & Engineering Communications contain novel scientific work of such importance that rapid publication is desirable. Authors should briefly indicate in a covering letter the reasons ...

Afterward, facilitated by proximity, a second bond is formed (nucleophilic reaction between an amino group in serotonin and a carbonyl group in the reactive building block). As a result ...

All living things depend on millions of chemical reactions that happen constantly. Chemical reactions that keep you alive happen fast! When you eat food, breathe, play, and grow, all of these are ...

Afterward, facilitated by proximity, a second bond is formed (nucleophilic reaction between an amino group in serotonin and a carbonyl group in the reactive building block). As a result, the building ...
