Seeing chemistry unfold inside living cells is one of the biggest challenges of modern bioimaging. Raman microscopy offers a ...

Researchers have discovered a biosynthetic pathway that makes amino acids containing terminal alkynes. Because such functional groups are rare in natural products, they provide a handle for chemistry ...

A collaborative academic-industry research team in the U.K. has devised a method to convert the terminal triple bond of an alkyne into a diester with the two ester groups at opposite ends of the ...

Organoboron compounds have been widely used to create new organic molecules since Prof. Suzuki, a 2010 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, developed palladium-catalyzed cross coupling reactions with ...

Alkyne metathesis catalysis is a transformative chemical process that enables the redistribution of carbon–carbon triple bonds through the cleavage and reformation of alkyne linkages. This reaction ...

3-Hexyne, aka diethylacetylene, is a symmetric alkyne that is used in organic and organometallic synthesis. It first appeared in British patent 279,095 (1926) to Michael George Corson, who heated ...
