Organic chemistry students and bench chemists alike rely on the Grignard reaction, a relatively simple way to make carbon-carbon bonds. But even though the reaction was first described 120 years ago, ...

Session 1: Making Grignard reagents and safety aspects of making and handling Grignard reagents. This presentation will cover the main ways for preparing organomagnesium compounds, and consider their ...

During a symposium in June, the ACS Division of the History of Chemistry (HIST) awarded the Citation for Chemical Breakthrough to the University of Lyon, in France, in honor of the institution’s role ...

Making complicated organic molecules is like solving a Rubik’s cube. Organic chemists need to design sequences of reactions to carefully build up parts of a molecule, while maintaining the structure ...

Brugger. J. E., M.S. Thesis, Penn. State College (1946). This apparatus was essentially like that of La Mer and Reed (J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 52, 3098; 1930), with the fraction which had reacted down the ...
