Chemists have been using the Schmidt reaction, which transforms aldehydes and ketones into amides, for nearly 100 years. But the reaction has a downside that prevents it from being widely used: it ...

Linking molecular components through amide bonds is one of the most important reactions in research and the chemical industry. Scientists have now introduced a new type of reaction for making amide ...

The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

This module covers aldehydes and ketones as the substrates and products of redox reactions. Structure is explained with both Lewis structures and molecular orbitals to discuss mechanisms in the ...

Ketones and esters (formed when an acid reacts with an alcohol) are ubiquitous as pharmaceutical intermediates and widely used for the synthesis of drug molecules. However, both share a critical ...
