Converting a mixture of mirror-image forms, or stereoisomers, of a molecule into a single isomer is a big deal in making pharmaceuticals, because usually only one isomer is useful as a drug. But ...
A new chemical method that could speed up the creation of medicines, materials and products people rely on every day has been ...
Enantioselective α-alkylation of carbonyl is considered as one of the most important processes for asymmetric synthesis. Common alkylation agents, that is, alkyl halides, are notorious substrates for ...
Histones are crosslinked with DNA (histone-DPC) following formaldehyde exposure, leading to the malfunction of cellular processes such as transcription. A team of researchers at Nagoya University in ...
The Thermo Scientific picoSpin 45 NMR spectrometer is a useful tool for teaching through the aldol condensation reaction. In a number of undergraduate organic teaching programs, probably the first ...
Synthetic biologists have engineered bacteria to prevent the microbes from reducing aromatic aldehydes, allowing the cells to synthesize flavorants such as vanillin and a precursor to the ...
Researchers have discovered the connection between aldehydes, organic compounds produced by cells as part of metabolic processes, and rapid aging. Their findings indicate a potential treatment for ...
