Green synthesis represents a transformative approach to organic compound production that minimises environmental impact by harnessing renewable resources, benign solvents and recyclable catalysts.

One of the important objectives of green chemistry is the use of eco-friendly solvents and catalysts to perform chemical reactions. Catalysts such as organocatalysts, enzymes, and ionic liquids have ...

Azides are chemical compounds widely used in synthetic organic chemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, and materials chemistry. However, conventional synthesis methods for azide compounds have severe ...

We offer a reserach area with its core in the Organic Chemistry of Natural Products focusing on understanding utilizing, and replicating the chemical compounds produced by living organisms. This way ...

Multi-titanium hydrides can selectively snip the strong structural bonds of stable organic molecules called pyridines, RIKEN researchers have shown. This discovery could guide designing catalysts for ...

In her new book, Molecular World: Making Modern Chemistry, chemistry historian Catherine M. Jackson brings the world of 19th-century experimentalists to life for chemists and other readers today. And ...

Scientists from Hokkaido University have developed a rapid, efficient protocol for cross-coupling reactions, vastly expanding the pool of chemicals that can be used for the synthesis of useful organic ...

Electrochemical reactions for synthesis of organic compounds would find wider applications if they were independent of power supply. Now, researchers have exploited the flow of electrolytes in an ...
