In the world of organic chemistry, nitrogen-containing organic compounds are ubiquitous, forming the backbone of ...

Amides are among the most ubiquitous functional groups in organic chemistry, forming the backbone of peptides and playing a vital role in pharmaceutical, synthetic and materials chemistry. Their ...

Scientists have been naming ideas, theorems, discoveries, and so on after other scientists for a very long time (Newton’s laws of motion, anyone?). Chemists are no different. They’ve been naming ...

A high-yield, one-pot, scalable reaction facilitates the production of biologically relevant amide compounds using less reactive nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds and carboxylic acid without ...

Penn State researchers have uncovered a surprising twist in a foundational chemical reaction known as oxidative addition. Typically believed to involve transition metals donating electrons to organic ...

Symposium organizers drew attention to a session earlier this month at the ACS national meeting in San Diego with a provocative title: “Is There a Crisis in Organic Chemistry Education?” But many of ...

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 ...

Alpha-substituted fatty amines and nitrogen-containing heterocycles are widely found in numerous bioactive natural products, pharmaceutical molecules, and agrochemicals. A recent analysis of small ...

Access to proteins is essential for modern medicine and biological science. As a complement to recombinant protein expression, the chemical synthesis of proteins has emerged as a viable approach to ...

In proteins, amino acids are held together by amide bonds. These bonds are long-lived and are robust against changes in temperature, acidity, or alkalinity. Certain medicines make use of reactions ...
