THE theory of chemical kinetics owes much of its development to the ease with which organic reactions lend themselves to convenient measurement, but the debt has been amply repaid, for kinetic studies ...

The Diels-Alder reaction is the most iconic organic chemistry reaction. Scientists now report on exactly how this chemical reaction, discovered in 1928, occurs. In 1928, chemists Otto Diels and Kurt ...

A new three-way bond-breaking and making mechanism makes the synthesis of five-membered rings easier than before.

Chemists often use computational methods to predict reaction pathways and energies, but some researchers question their usefulness because the models sometimes produce highly variable, head-scratching ...

Oxidative functionalization of hydrophobic compounds is an important research area from the perspective of effective utilization of natural resources and treatment and reuse of hazardous substances.

A reaction mechanism for prediction of OH*, CH* and C2* chemiluminescent species Detection of non-intrusive OH*, CH* and C2* species is frequently used in the diagnostics A reaction model of such ...
