Ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) is a linchpin of lithium-ion battery electrolytes, making up 30–35% of their composition due to its unique balance of solubility, safety, and stability. As global demand ...

Cationic organic intermediates participate in a wide variety of useful synthetic transformations, but their high reactivity can render selectivity in competing pathways difficult to control. Here, we ...

One of the important objectives of green chemistry is the use of eco-friendly solvents and catalysts to perform chemical reactions. Catalysts such as organocatalysts, enzymes, and ionic liquids have ...

Speaking in a Division of Polymer Chemistry session Tuesday, Coates noted that the polyacetal polymer is stable up to 325 °C. However, once researchers combine this plastic with a strong acid catalyst ...

This lab includes a demonstration of the proper use of a burette system for titrations; including a detailed description, instructional video, and opportunity for students to collect data to ...

Many alkene reactions generate chiral products that form as a mixture of two mirror-image isomers, known as enantiomers. Each enantiomer of a compound interacts with other chiral molecules in a ...
