Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, have developed a new method that makes the oxidation of alcohols easier to ...

A new electrochemical method turns carbon dioxide and alcohols into valuable chemicals on both sides of a single cell, using a sulfur-modified catalyst that improves efficiency and selectivity.

Selective catalytic oxidation of alcohols transforms primary and secondary alcohols into carbonyl-containing products such as aldehydes, ketones or acids using an oxidant, most often molecular oxygen.

Amides and thioesters are ubiquitous compounds in chemistry, used for the production of medicines, natural products, and advanced materials. Traditionally, their synthesis is a messy business, ...
