Chemists routinely optimize reactions to maximize the yield of their desired products, but understanding why those reactions ...

IntroductionThe synthesis and hydrolysis of esters are fundamental reactions learned in high school.I believe that in ...

In the past two decades, the carbon-nitrogen bond forming reaction, known as the Buchwald-Hartwig reaction, has become one of the most widely used tools in organic synthesis, particularly in the ...

A new chemical reaction method is only as valuable as the chemistry it makes possible. So a paper that describes a new reaction will almost always include a table of compounds that researchers tested ...
