In organic synthesis, ascorbic acid can be used as a reactant in the preparation of chiral synthons and also as a catalyst to accelerate the reaction. Several important reactions are performed ...

Several important reactions are performed with ascorbic acid: These include the oxidation of amines to carbonyl compounds, cross-coupling of disulfides with aryl iodides, ATRA of polyhalogenated ...

The mechanism of the proline-catalyzed aldol reaction has stimulated considerable debate, and despite limited experimental data, at least five different mechanisms have been proposed. Complementary to ...

IntroductionUpon addition of hydrogen peroxide to Rochelle's salt (sodium potassium tartrate), the hydrogen peroxide decomposes and tartaric acid is oxidized. This reaction proceeds very slowly at ...

Methyl formate, a clear, volatile liquid, is the simplest carboxylate ester. It can be made in the lab by the acid-catalyzed esterification of formic acid and methanol. Industrially, it is produced by ...

Researchers from The university of Texas Pan-American and Prince Muhammad Bin Fahad University describe an expeditious p-toluene sulphonic acid-catalyzed reaction of racemic azetidine-2,3-diones ...

The stoichiometry of the redox reaction of caffeic acid with iron (III) was determined at pH 2.5. A linear increase in the yield of iron (II) was found with increasing iron (III) concentration until ...

It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the 38th Reaction Mechanisms Conference (RMC) to be held at the University of Colorado-Boulder from 12th to 15th of June 2022. The RMC is a ...
