THE nut-like flavour of properly toasted oat flakes is associated with volatile and non-volatile compounds developing mostly during the toasting process. The volatile compounds are represented ...

The formation of carbon–carbon bonds is a fundamental transformation in organic synthesis. In spite of the myriad methods available, advantageous methodologies in terms of selectivity, availability of ...

Carbonyls (C=O groups) are popular reactive handles. But carbonylation reactions, which create these useful groups by appending carbon monoxide to aryl halides or alkyl halides with the help of a ...

Organic synthesis is based on carbon-carbon bond formation. Aldol condensation is one of the key reactions, forming a new β-hydroxy carbonyl compound through the reaction of two carbonyl compounds.

Being able to shuffle functional groups on a molecule is something organic chemists would love to do, but it is not straightforward to do in the lab. A new synthesis designed by Guangbin Dong and ...

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