The Diels-Alder reaction is the most iconic organic chemistry reaction. Scientists now report on exactly how this chemical reaction, discovered in 1928, occurs. In 1928, chemists Otto Diels and Kurt ...

As a footnote to Mark M. Green’s letter on how to make organic chemistry “be part of understanding the wider world, to be worth knowing” (Jan. 2, 2023, page 3), I wish to illustrate my approach to “a ...

In a feat of manipulating substances at the nanoscale, new research demonstrates a method to isolate two molecules together on a substrate and to control specifically how those two molecules react ...

Scientists have been naming ideas, theorems, discoveries, and so on after other scientists for a very long time (Newton’s laws of motion, anyone?). Chemists are no different. They’ve been naming ...

Green synthesis represents a paradigm shift in organic chemistry, embracing environmentally sustainable practices that minimise the use of hazardous reagents and energy consumption. This approach ...

MCQs on Class 11 Organic Chemistry Some Basic Principles and Techniques: The Class 11 Chemistry Chapter 8 - Organic Chemistry Some Basic Principles and Techniques discusses the basic concepts of ...

SN1 and SN2 reactions are fundamental types of nucleophilic substitution in organic chemistry, each with distinct mechanisms ...

Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds. Most organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, but they may ...
