Researchers develop a one pot process to transform aromatic ketones to esters, offering advancements in pharmaceutical synthesis and materials science. Aromatic ketones have traditionally been ...
LA JOLLA, CA—Scientists have long considered ketones (a fundamental chemical class) and esters (molecules formed when an acid reacts with an alcohol) to be locked treasure chests of possibilities.
When most chemists think about catalysis, they probably don’t think of vegetables. But apparently they should. Wenju Bai and colleagues at AbbVie used purple carrots to reduce a group of nitrogen- ...
Aromatic ketones have long been valuable intermediates in chemical synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions where different chemical entities are combined to form new compounds. For ...
