The transfer portal is a stressful time for any college football coach, even one coming off a national championship like Ohio State's Ryan Day. The spring transfer portal window opened on April 16 ...

Great news from the FWF. The project "Exploring the Chemistry of Octadride Natural Products"  (10.55776/PAT1457923) was approved. 01/03 Tommy starts his second term as Head of the Department of ...

The first aldol reaction that uses esters instead of aldehydes as one coupling partner has been developed by scientists in the UK. It will give chemists ‘an entirely new retrosynthetic disconnection,’ ...

The aldol reaction is one of the most powerful and versatile methods for the construction of C-C bonds. Traditionally, this reaction was developed in a stoichiometric version; however, great efforts ...

The Thermo Scientific picoSpin 45 NMR spectrometer is a useful tool for teaching through the aldol condensation reaction. In a number of undergraduate organic teaching programs, probably the first ...

some chemists would like to see more of an emphasis on descriptive names for reactions instead, like the aldol condensation or olefin metathesis, which is sometimes called the Grubbs reaction.

However, such variants might be beneficial to run the aldol reaction under kinetic control to allow product accumulation with higher yield. Thus, screening techniques where the formation of the ...

One long-standing unsolved challenge is the enantioselective aldol reaction of fluoroacetate to enable access to fluorinated analogues of medicinally relevant acetate-derived compounds ...
