Researchers develop a one pot process to transform aromatic ketones to esters, offering advancements in pharmaceutical synthesis and materials science. Aromatic ketones have traditionally been ...

Aromatic compounds play an important role in chemistry and biology as well as in numerous branches of industry. Although aromaticity was initially thought to be exclusive to carbon cycles, it has ...

After nearly 50 years of failed attempts and scientific speculation, chemists at Saarland University have achieved what many thought might be impossible: creating a long-sought silicon-based aromatic ...

Organocatalysts consisting of organic compounds without metal elements are receiving much attention as next generation catalysts in the hope of reducing environmental burden and coping with exhaustion ...

Scheme shows the reduction of a nitroaromatic molecule with an aldehyde and chlorine to the corresponding aromatic amine. A simple reaction can increase the value of a small molecule more than 10 ...

To forge carbon-carbon bonds between two aryl groups, chemists typically turn to metal-catalyzed cross-couplings—powerful transformations that garnered their inventors the 2010 Nobel Prize in ...

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 ...
