Some 60 g of (+)-discodermolide, a potent inhibitor of tumor cell growth, has been prepared in a 39-step synthesis by the Novartis Chemical & Analytical Development Group in Basel, Switzerland. The ...

Hundreds of chemists can’t possibly share a 450-sq-ft lab—unless, that is, they don’t have to be there. Eli Lilly & Co. designed its Automated Synthesis Lab around this idea. Logging in from their ...

Chemists have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes. Chemists from the National University of ...

With global energy demand climbing and climate challenges intensifying, researchers are exploring transformative new ways to ...

Chemical synthesis is already central to life and society, and has a fundamental role to play in delivering a sustainable future. The discovery, optimisation, and scalable manufacture of molecules and ...

A chemical change is more than just a simple alteration; it's a profound transformation at the molecular level. When substances undergo a chemical change, they undergo a metamorphosis, fundamentally ...
