Aromatic ketones have long been valuable intermediates in chemical synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions where different chemical entities are combined to form new compounds. For ...

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 ...

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 ...

Family of compounds known as 1,2,3,5-tetrazines could have wide application in making new pharmaceuticals, chemical and biological probes, and other products. Chemists at Scripps Research have devised ...

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 ...

When Clay Bennett started his postdoctoral stint in 2005, he thought—“naively,” he admits—that he would spend just a couple of months preparing a few grams of an oligosaccharide before using the ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers in Korea have developed a technology that automatically identifies the necessary precursor materials to synthesize specific target materials ("Retrieval-Retro: ...

In agriculture and medicine, isothiourea plays an important role as an important synthetic intermediate. As well as being potent inhibitors of biological targets, isothioureas can be used as ...

It’s a common enough scenario in many synthesis labs: you know what starting material you have, and you know what product you need but not quite what reaction conditions will get you there. Unless you ...
