In this review, the works carried out in Brazil with multicomponent reactions over a period of 30 years were mapped through search in the literature (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science). A significant ...

Pericyclic reactions, in which electrons move in concert to rearrange a molecule’s structure, are standard tools for synthetic chemists. But examples of such transformations in nature are fairly rare.

C &EN recently invited bloggers to write posts about their favorite chemical reactions. We received some two dozen posts from seasoned chemistry bloggers and fledgling writers alike, singing the ...

Infusion reactions, also known as acute infusion reactions or infusion-related reactions, are common adverse effects that can occur when a person receives medication intravenously. Infusion reactions ...

In chemical reactions, molecules transform from reactants into reaction products through a critical geometry called a transition state that lasts less than one millionth of one millionth of a second.

The average reaction time is three-quarters of a second. Reaction time is how long it takes to move your foot from the accelerator pedal to the brake pedal in response to a situation. Reaction times ...

The AFIR method traces back the reaction of endiandric acid C methyl ester, a 52-atom natural product, to its starting materials using only quantum chemical calculations. Credit: Tsuyoshi Mita et al.

Automated reaction path search method predicts accurate stereochemistry of pericyclic reactions using only target molecule structure. Automated reaction path search method predicts accurate ...

There’s nothing like a where-did-this-come-from type of skin rash to throw you for a loop. No idea what’s causing those raised, itchy bumps and splotches? That’s not entirely surprising. Skin rashes, ...

Polycyclic scaffolds are omnipresent in natural products and drugs, and the synthetic strategies and methods toward construction of these scaffolds are of particular importance. Compared to simple ...

Triplet excited state chemistry has enabled a range of important organic transformations by accessing reaction pathways inaccessible to photoredox chemistry. Such photoreactions are triggered by ...
