Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds. Most organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, but they may ...

Chemists have synthesized a highly complex natural molecule through a new strategy of functionalizing normally inert ...

Neil Garg is leading the charge to rewrite a fundamental principle that's been part of organic chemistry since 1924 -- ...

UCLA chemists have found a big problem with a fundamental rule of organic chemistry that has been around for 100 years—it's ...

The yeast dies when the ethanol concentration reaches about 15%. Fermentation is a slow reaction and takes several days or weeks to finish. If air is present, the oxygen causes the ethanol to ...

UCLA chemists have overturned a century-old rule in organic chemistry that limited molecular design by proving that ...

UCLA chemists believe it’s time to rewrite the textbooks as they figured out how to violate Bredt’s rule, which will help chemists discover new medicines. In 1924, Bredt’s rule was more or less ...

Chemists at UCLA have discovered a flaw in one of organic chemistry’s longstanding principles, challenging a rule that's ...
