Chemists have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes. Chemists from the National University of ...

Researchers at the Biocatalysis group led by Dr Francesco Mutti at the Van ‘t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (University of Amsterdam) have developed a novel use of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) ...

Organic molecules are peppered with carbon-hydrogen bonds, and chemists have built up a fantastic toolbox of methods to break these bonds and put more useful functional groups in their place. This ...

Organic chemistry is the study of the millions of carbon-based compounds, including those that make up the building blocks of all known life. By exploring the properties, structures, and reactions of ...
