The effect of stereochemistry on the oxidation of organic molecules adsorbed on aerosol particles has been revealed in a model system. Organic molecules are released into the atmosphere from both ...

The nearly 30-year tale of secalosides A and B began in 1997, when natural product chemists identified them as components of rye pollen extract. Although the compounds were inactive in lab tests with ...

The annual Bürgenstock conference brings together a select band of chemists to talk about the many different facets of stereochemistry, and the unique format of the meeting encourages plenty of ...

A chemist has designed and synthesized a catalyst that flexibly molds the handedness of the reaction products with which it interacts. Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich chemist Oliver ...

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

When chemists at the University of Bristol set out to make a pair of natural products with antimicrobial activity, it seemed like a quick and easy way to highlight some synthetic methodology their lab ...

A research team has uncovered and rebuilt a previously elusive plant pathway that produces oxindole alkaloids—a rare and ...
