To help students learn to recognize common organic functional groups when given chemical formulas and names, students can use an organic chemistry functional group playing card deck to play any card ...

Chemists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have invented a powerful method for joining complex organic molecules like olefins with heteroatoms or functional groups. This new method does not ...

Organic boronic acids are widely used as starting material in the synthesis of various useful chemicals. But, some organic boronic acids are unstable and lead to unwanted 'side reactions.' Thus, they ...

Azides are chemical compounds widely used in synthetic organic chemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, and materials chemistry. However, conventional synthesis methods for azide compounds have severe ...

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 ...

Aspirin and acetaminophen are common pain relievers with different chemical structures. Converting related compounds requires controlled organic synthesis steps. The experiment explores how functional ...
