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 ...

Nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions constitute a fundamental class of transformations in organic chemistry, enabling the replacement of a leaving group on an aromatic ring by a nucleophile.

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 ...

Quantum entanglement offers a unified ab initio framework for revealing chemical bonds, from Lewis structures to aromatic and ...

Co@Y containing zeolite encaged isolated cobalt ions was developed as robust catalyst for the solvent- and additive-free selective oxidation of ethylbenzene to acetophenone, surpassing the benchmark ...

Alcohols are abundant in the universe of chemicals. But their strong C–O bond makes it tough to alter the motif without modifying it first. Seeking a quick method for transforming alcohols into a wide ...

Waste plastic and carbon dioxide are two major global waste carbon sources. A new study in Engineering introduces a simple, atmospheric-pressure ...
