Researchers from the University of Amsterdam's Van't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (HIMS) have developed the first viable biocatalytic 'green' process for the chemoselective oxidation of ...

The reactivity of carbonyl functional groups largely depends on the substituents on the carbon atom. Reversal of the commonly accepted order of reactivity of different carbonyl compounds requires ...

Few functional groups are as popular in synthesis as the carbonyl group. Composed of an oxygen molecule doubly bonded to carbon, the carbonyl welcomes reaction with all types of nucleophiles.

We have discovered a simple and versatile reaction condition for oxime mediated bioconjugation reaction that could be adapted for both aldehyde and keto substrates. We found that saline accelerated ...
