Researchers report that carboxylic acids, functional groups contained in biomolecules, drugs, and materials can be readily modified by light-induced organic reactions using an aminocyclopropenone.

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 ...

Toyohashi University of Technology researchers led by Associate Professor Shibatomi developed new catalytic reaction to produce chlorine-containing organic molecules in isomerically pure (left- or ...

Dendrimers are unique molecular structures terminated by a multitude of peripheral functional groups that are accessible for targeted chemistry. Carboxyl-terminated dendrimers are attractive because ...

Answer: (i) The carbonyl group of aldehydes and ketones is reduced to the CH 2 group on treatment with zinc amalgam and concentrated hydrochloric acid. (ii) Aldehydes which do not have an α-hydrogen ...

Held together by only one carbon atom, formic acid is the simplest carboxylic acid. The market for this chemical is relatively small as well—a fraction of the demand for organic acids such as ...

Researchers have developed a new reaction to produce chlorinated compounds with high isomeric purity. Such compounds are important building blocks for target molecules. However the molecules come in ...
