Urea is considered a possible key molecule in the origin of life. ETH researchers have discovered a previously unknown way in ...

A mixture of ethyl bromoacetate and 1-octene was treated with triethylborane in water at ambient temperature to provide ethyl 4-bromodecanoate in good yield. The bromine atom-transfer radical addition ...

Solid alloys of aluminum, gallium, indium and tin have been shown to react with water at room temperature to produce hydrogen and aluminum hydroxide in an exothermic reaction. The gallium, indium and ...

At the air-water interface, a negatively charged amino acid carries out a nucleophile attack on a gas molecule to convert it into a product. The reaction rate is enhanced due to significant ...

Dichloroiodoisocyanuric acid was prepared in 93% by heating trichloroisocyanuric acid with 1.05 mol equiv. of iodine. This new reagent is very efficient for regioselective electrophilic iodination of ...

Quantifying surface-specific kinetics of organic oxidation in heterogeneous catalytic systems remains a critical challenge due to the interplay of adsorption and complex reaction mechanisms. In this ...
