Alkynes are prized among chemists for their uniquely reactive carbon-carbon triple bonds, which make them excellent coupling partners in click chemistry, for example. Now, chemists at the University ...

Liang Deng's group at the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, recently discovered that a ...

Alkyne dimerization represents a pivotal reaction in organic synthesis whereby two terminal alkynes combine to yield 1,3-enynes – molecules that constitute key building blocks for natural products, ...

Researchers report that carboxylic acids, functional groups contained in biomolecules, drugs, and materials can be readily modified by light-induced organic reactions using an aminocyclopropenone.

Increasing our understanding of cellular processes requires information about the types of biomolecules involved, their locations, and their interactions. This requires the molecules to be labeled ...

Three researchers won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry on Wednesday for their discovery of methods to “click” molecular building blocks together, forming complex molecules that can be used to develop ...
