The catalytic ketonization of carboxylic acids is a pivotal reaction in the conversion of renewable feedstocks into value‐added chemicals and biofuels. This reaction couples two carboxylic acid ...

Researchers have developed a new reaction to produce chlorinated compounds with high isomeric purity. Such compounds are important building blocks for target molecules. However the molecules come in ...

C-H activation-based method should speed drug molecule design and diversification. Scripps Research chemists have accomplished a long elusive feat in synthetic chemistry: the invention of a broadly ...

Answer: (i) The carbonyl group of aldehydes and ketones is reduced to the CH 2 group on treatment with zinc amalgam and concentrated hydrochloric acid. (ii) Aldehydes which do not have an α-hydrogen ...

Aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids are the compounds containing carbon-oxygen double bond (>C=O) called carbonyl group. The carbon and oxygen of the carbonyl group are sp 2 hybridised and the ...

CBSE Class 12 Organic Chemistry is often seen as memory-heavy, but it is built on clear patterns. From functional groups and ...

Acrylic acid (2-propenoic acid) is a highly reactive carboxylic acid that can react with itself to form polyacrylic acid, which is used as an absorbent in hygiene products. It also can react with ...

Toyohashi University of Technology researchers led by Associate Professor Shibatomi developed new catalytic reaction to produce chlorine-containing organic molecules in isomerically pure (left- or ...
