The researchers created several different anti-Bredt olefins by making silyl precursors and then carrying out an elimination ...

UCLA chemists have overturned a century-old rule in organic chemistry that limited molecular design by proving that ...

Students will therefore be expected to secure a basic undersanding of, e.g., chemical bonding, the chemistry of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic compounds, substitution and elimination reactions, ...

Most chemistry graduates have been taught that the regiochemistry of β-elimination reactions can be predicted or rationalized by the judicious application of the 'rules' of Saytzeff (also known ...

All original research work published in Organic Chemistry Frontiers is in one Research article format. Both Communication type articles and Full paper type articles can be published under this format.

For the first time, chemists have made a class of molecules previously thought too unstable to exist, and used them to ...

According to Bredt's rule, double bonds cannot exist at certain positions on organic molecules if the molecule's geometry deviates too far from what we learn in textbooks. This rule has constrained ...

We welcome studies on catalysis, including metal catalysis, organocatalysis, and biocatalysis, which present a significant organic chemistry advance. The application of a new catalyst to a known ...

UCLA chemists have found a big problem with a fundamental rule of organic chemistry that has been around for 100 years—it's ...

UCLA chemists believe it’s time to rewrite the textbooks as they figured out how to violate Bredt’s rule, which will help chemists discover new medicines. In 1924, Bredt’s rule was more or less ...

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 ...

Oct. 30, 2024 — Research provides a deeper understanding of precisely what is happening in organic solar cells as light is converted into electricity. Researchers developed a new method which ...
