Chemists produce new oxidants as a tool for preparative chemistry. Chemical oxidation, the selective removal of electrons from a substrate, represents one of the most important transformations in ...

This module covers aldehydes and ketones as the substrates and products of redox reactions. Structure is explained with both Lewis structures and molecular orbitals to discuss mechanisms in the ...

Researchers can make the oxidation reactions used in the synthesis of organic molecules cleaner by hitching photovoltaics to electrochemistry. The idea is simple and yet it has huge implications. To ...

Sparked by several high-profile reports, electrochemistry -- using electricity to perform chemical reactions like oxidation and reduction -- is gaining popularity in the pharmaceutical field. Some ...

I’m nasty, but useful in the lab. What molecule am I? In German Patent 182,287 (1905), inventor Max le Blanc of Leipzig described an electrolytic method for the continuous production for chromic acid ...

This protocol describes a new approach for the preparation of stereodefined trisubstituted chiral enolate species, avoiding conventional asymmetric enolization of carbonyl compounds. This protocol was ...

Chemical oxidation, the selective removal of electrons from a substrate, represents one of the most important transformations in chemistry. However, most common oxidants often show disadvantages such ...
