A high-yield, one-pot, scalable reaction facilitates the production of biologically relevant amide compounds using less reactive nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds and carboxylic acid without ...

A high acid environment is great for a snappy hydrogen oxidation reaction—the reaction at the heart of a clean-energy fuel ...

Amino acids are molecules fundamental to living organisms because they combine to build proteins, the workhorses of the cell. One metabolic pathway that produces amino acids involves transamination, a ...

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 ...

Metals react differently. Some are very reactive and others are unreactive. Observations of reactions can be used to put metals into an order of reactivity. For example, copper is unreactive so it can ...

Rice University researchers have developed a two-step recycling method that pairs microwave-induced plasma with citric acid ...

Origin-of-life researchers face a deceptively straightforward question: how did simple chemicals produce complex biochemistry? The complexity of this starts to come in when you consider the many ...

James Mitchell Crow explains how an unexpected discovery in main group chemistry inspired two decades of chemical creativity, ...

There are 118 elements known at present. There are similarities as well as differences are the properties of these elements on the basis of their, all the element can be divided three types: Metal; ...
