Ketones are important organic compounds found in a variety of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and natural products. The synthesis of a ketone directly from a corresponding readily-available aldehyde ...

Researchers have discovered the connection between aldehydes, organic compounds produced by cells as part of metabolic processes, and rapid aging. Their findings indicate a potential treatment for ...

A team of researchers at Nagoya University in Japan has discovered that aldehydes are metabolic byproducts associated with premature aging. Published in Nature Cell Biology, their findings reveal ...

Chirality is a geometric property of some molecules and ions, and a chiral molecule/ion is non-superposable on its mirror image, just like our right and left hands. A number of chiral molecules can be ...

Converting a mixture of mirror-image forms, or stereoisomers, of a molecule into a single isomer is a big deal in making pharmaceuticals, because usually only one isomer is useful as a drug. But ...

A team of researchers from Nagoya University in Japan determined that aldehydes are metabolic waste linked to premature ageing. Prospective techniques for combating ageing in healthy people are ...

The Thermo Scientific picoSpin 45 NMR spectrometer is a useful tool for teaching through the aldol condensation reaction. In a number of undergraduate organic teaching programs, probably the first ...
