Arynes are highly reactive organic intermediates featuring a triple bond within an aromatic ring. Their strong reactivity ...

C-H activation-based method should speed drug molecule design and diversification. Scripps Research chemists have accomplished a long elusive feat in synthetic chemistry: the invention of a broadly ...

Carboxylic acids can undergo reduction reactions. Reduction is the opposite of oxidation. For example, ethanoic acid (CH 3 COOH) can be formed by the oxidation of ethanol as shown below. As reduction ...

Carboxylic acids can carry out the same reactions as other acids, for example the reactions with metals and metal carbonate. Carboxylic acids are weak acids, and will react more slowly than other, ...
