IN AN EFFORT to build molecules via greener and less expensive processes, chemists at the University of Texas, Austin, have developed two new carbonyl allylation reactions (J. Am. Chem. Soc., DOI: ...

When organic chemists want to construct six-membered carbon rings, their go-to method is that old stalwart, the Diels-Alder reaction. But when they want to make five-membered rings, the route is less ...

Rearranging the parts of a molecule is like rearranging the contents of a tightly packed suitcase: You must go through a number of steps, taking objects in and out to get the configuration you want. A ...

Ketones are in equilibrium with a form known as an enol. The name enol derives from the fact that enols are a combination of a carbonyl (C=O) containing group, such as an aldehyde or ketone and an ...

Under the authority of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) P.L. 92-463 of 1972, the National Advisory Committee for Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Hazardous Substances (NAC/AEGL Committee) ...
