Yu says this reaction can essentially make drugs out of soap. Chemists have long dreamed of using aliphatic acids, the essential backbone of many soaps, as a chemical reagent, he says. The group ...

However, when Alexander Weinhold, a PhD student in Ian Baldwin’s group studied the animals and their excretions, he found that their odor profile had significantly changed after digesting the sweet ...

Last year, the Yu lab developed a method for the palladium-catalyzed, β- and γ-methylene C-H functionalization of free aliphatic acids, to make structurally diverse γ- and δ-lactones—also ...

Dr. Curme’s main work has been with aliphatic chemicals, such as fatty acids, hydrocarbons, alcohols, esters, ethers. In those compounds the carbon atoms are arranged like links in an open chain.* ...

In this webinar, we present the development activities of a photoredox fluorodecarboxylation of carboxylic acids, from micro-scale photo high-throughput experimentation (photo-HTE) through to ...

To test the responses of the many different ant species which inhabit Nicotiana attenuata's native habitat to branch-chain aliphatic acids, Ian Baldwin laid out cooked rice grains that had been ...

The hairs of wild tobacco Nicotiana attenuata contain primarily acyl sugars, which are composed of the common sugar, sucrose, bound to branched chain aliphatic acids, compounds that give baby ...
