A dilute solution of bromine is added to samples of heptane and cyclohexene. The bromination reactions and mechanisms are compared. UV light splits the bromine molecule into two reactive radicals, ...

Macrolactones—large ring lactones—are core components of many natural products and pharmaceutical agents. Traditional ...

The pharmaceutical industry makes products that improve millions of lives. Recent developments in flow chemistry can help alleviate the environmental burden of manufacturing processes to bring these ...

The proposed method is simple, mild, fast, and produces high yields, with the potential to inspire the development of new drugs and agrochemicals. Indolo[2,3-a]quinolizidine is a common structural ...

Researchers at Okayama University have developed a novel photochemical macrolactonization that converts hydroxyaldehydes into macrolactones (ring sizes 7–21) using in-situ generated acyl bromide ...

The USS Freedom, commissioned into active service on Nov. 8 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is the first of the U.S. Navy’s new class of agile, high-tech warships designed for fast response in shallow, ...
