The controlled modification of natural products enables chemists to alter the physical properties and resulting functions of these complex molecules. Selective reaction at a specific hydroxyl group in ...

The field of catalysis, particularly in oxidation reactions, occupies a central role in modern chemistry and industrial processes. These reactions underpin energy conversion, environmental remediation ...

Environmental Health Perspectives, Vol. 103, Supplement 1: Fate, Transport, and Interactions of Metals (Feb., 1995), pp. 17-19 (3 pages) Several metal or metalloid ions exist in multiple oxidation ...

Researchers can make the oxidation reactions used in the synthesis of organic molecules cleaner by hitching photovoltaics to electrochemistry. The idea is simple and yet it has huge implications. To ...

Alkanes, an important component of fuels for combustion engines and an important class of urban trace gases, react via another reaction pathways than previously thought. These hydrocarbons, formerly ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 244, No. 1238 (Mar. 25, 1958), pp. 411-423 (13 pages) The photochemical oxidation of gaseous methyl ...

This module covers aldehydes and ketones as the substrates and products of redox reactions. Structure is explained with both Lewis structures and molecular orbitals to discuss mechanisms in the ...

Catalysis: They are essential in catalysis, particularly in processes like hydrogenation, hydroformylation, and polymerisation. For example, Ziegler-Natta catalysts, which are organometallic compounds ...

One of the important objectives of green chemistry is the use of eco-friendly solvents and catalysts to perform chemical reactions. Catalysts such as organocatalysts, enzymes, and ionic liquids have ...
