• Large pores
  

  Researchers of the KIT Institute of Functional Interfaces (IFG), Jacobs University Bremen, and other institutions have developed a new method to produce metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). By means of the so-called liquid-phase epitaxy, the scientists succeeded in producing a new class of MOFs with a p more

• Sequential synthesis to integrate catalysts – no need to purify

  Scientists from Spain have developed a new method for increasing yields in synthetic organic reactions. One pot syntheses may seem like an attractive option for syntheses with multiple reaction steps but reagents are not always compatible, leading to serious reductions in yields. An alternative sequ more

• New insights into how the most iconic reaction in organic chemistry really works

  In 1928, chemists Otto Diels and Kurt Alder first documented diene synthesis, a chemical reaction important for synthesizing many polymers, alkaloids and steroids. Their work on this mechanism, which came to be known as the Diels–Alder reaction, won them the 1950 Nobel Prize in chemistry. Since then more

• Reaching the Next Level of Microwave-assisted Organic Synthesis

  Microwave-assisted organic synthesis (MAOS) has become an increasingly popular discipline in modern chemical method development. At first, reaction optimization and method development on a small scale were the main areas of interest in MAOS. However, the growing acceptance and success of this innovative microwave technology revealed the necessity for large-scale synthesis of valuable compounds using microwave heating, especially in industrial laboratories more

• On-demand droplet loading for automated organic chemistry on digital microfluidics

  Organic chemistry applications on digital microfluidic devices often involve reagents that are volatile or sensitive and must be introduced to the chip immediately before use. We present a new technique for automated, on-demand loading of [[similar]] 1 μL droplets from large ( [[similar]] 1 mL), se more

• The modern interpretation of the Wittig reaction mechanism

  The mechanism of the Wittig reaction has long been a contentious issue in organic chemistry. Even now, more than 50 years after its announcement, its presentation in many modern undergraduate textbooks is either overly simplified or entirely inaccurate. In this review, we gather together the huge bo more
