What began as a grassroots initiative has become embedded across Pfizer's research and manufacturing operations, helping reshape processes from Viagra to Paxlovid

Analysis highlights the enormous financial burden of remediating long- and short-chain PFAS contamination

This study investigates the low-temperature depolymerization of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) using near-stoichiometric choline hydroxide (ChOH) in methanol, assisted by dichloromethane (DCM) or di...

We report a general copper-catalyzed hydrogenative reduction of thioureas to N-methylamine and N,N-dimethylamine (10 examples, 42-99% carbon utilization rate) using PhSiH3 as the hydrogenation reagent...

🚨 95% of “green” chemical claims fail under real data.... Read more

Deuterated (deuterium, D-labelled) compounds have become indispensable across a wide range of applications in medicinal chemistry and materials science, driving significant interest in the development...

Small organic molecules bearing oxygen-containing functionalities are key chemical building units in the organic chemical manufacturing industries. Biomass-derived carbohydrates are promising feedstoc...

3,4-Dihydroisoquinolines are high-value chemicals, both as medicinally relevant compounds and as intermediates for the synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives, which are widely regarded as privileged scaffolds in drug discovery. Though envisaged as a direct route, the partial oxidation of 1,2

The flowers, fruits and vegetables that we encounter in everyday life provide an opportunity for discussion of key chemistry concepts in school and university level chemistry. The rich variety of colo...

Plastic waste is a global challenge, with polystyrene (PS) among the least recycled polymers despite its widespread use in laboratories. Conventional recycling routes for PS remain economically and te...

Vat photopolymerization (VP) is a rapidly growing additive manufacturing technology (3D-printing), yet its reliance on fossil-derived and potentially hazardous acrylate resins presents a significant s...
