Organic chemical synthesis has evolved from multistep sequences relying on stoichiometric reagents and protecting-group manipulations to highly efficient, selective and sustainable strategies. Modern ...

Amidines, characterised by the C(=NH)NH functional group, occupy a central role in modern organic synthesis and chemical biology. Classical preparations often rely on the reaction of nitriles with ...

Highly reactive organometallic reagents, like organolithiums (molecules with a carbon–lithium bond) are essential reagents in organic synthesis because of their applications from polymer synthesis to ...

Researchers at the University of Osaka developed a light-driven method for synthesizing Davis reagents that generates the ...

As a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, Mark Levin started sketching out ideas for how to do something no chemist had ever managed before: swapping one of the carbon atoms in ...

Modern medicine depends on large, information-rich molecules such as peptides and oligonucleotides. These molecules carry biological instructions that can be directed toward specific disease pathways.

The Section of Chemistry and Biochemistry has had for a long time an excellent scientific reputation at an international ...
