Circularly conjugated compounds with 4n+2 pi-electrons are known as aromatic compounds. They are generally stable and are found in our surroundings. Conversely, anti-aromatic compounds with 4n ...

The term aromaticity is a basic, long-standing concept in chemistry that is well established for ring-shaped carbon compounds. Aromatic rings consisting solely of metal atoms were, however, heretofore ...

Researchers develop a one pot process to transform aromatic ketones to esters, offering advancements in pharmaceutical synthesis and materials science. Aromatic ketones have traditionally been ...

Catalytic hydroxylation of aromatic compounds is a cornerstone transformation in both fine-chemical synthesis and industrial chemistry, enabling the direct introduction of hydroxyl groups into ...

As the saying goes, all good things take time – and this could be said to be especially true of major scientific breakthroughs. After nearly half a century of speculation and decades of attempts by ...

The selective activation of inert aromatic C–H bonds for the synthesis of high-value phenols is of considerable scientific and industrial significance. Conventional free radical-based hydroxylation ...

A twelve-year field study in Jiangxi, China, reveals that the species of aromatic tree planted alongside tea bushes ...

An invaluable text for synthetic chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, plastic and detergent industries, this book provides a detailed, up-to-date account of the reactions of chlorosulfonic ...
