Aliphatic alcohols are cheap, widely available, and very stable building blocks for chemical synthesis and drug discovery. Now, a team of chemists has found a way to add functional groups to them in ...

Scientists at the Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo) have successfully realized the highly selective asymmetric 1,6 addition of aliphatic Grignard reagents to α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated carbonyl ...

While many chemistries have been developed to incite C–H bonds to react, certain types of aliphatics stubbornly resist such transformations. Now, chemists at Princeton University and Merck & Co. have ...

Aliphatic glucosinolates (hereafter ‘glucosinolates’) are plant secondary metabolites derived from methionine. They occur in the Capparales, which includes several commercially important crops, and a ...

How can aromatic compounds be separated from so-called aliphatic compounds efficiently without having to rely on energy-intensive processes? In the scientific journal Angewandte Chemie (Applied ...

The EPA must evaluate the risk of existing chemicals and has selected the first 10 for review. As part of our role, the American Council on Science and Health is producing risk-based evaluations of ...
