They are found as fragrances in cosmetics or as flavorings in food, and form the basis of new medications: Terpenes are natural substances that occur in plants, insects and sea sponges. They are ...

Metathesis now allows organic chemists a gentle touch in constructing the most complex of molecules, such as pharmaceuticals and natural products. Yet it continues also to play a major role in ...

The current methods for synthesis of such compounds, such as metathesis reactions, addition reactions, and free radical reactions, exhibit drawbacks including narrow substrate scope and harsh ...

Incorporation of this functional monomer into a polynorbornene copolymer was achieved using ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). While the quintessential quadruple hydrogen-bonding UPy ...

Electrodialysis metathesis, characterized by a simpler process flow, lower energy consumption, and environmental benefits, emerges as an effective technique for electrically driven membrane separation ...

Herein, we report the synthesis of high molar mass POxa via ring-opening metathesis polymerization of oxazolidinone-fused cyclooctenes. These novel polymers show <5% mass loss up to 382–411 °C and ...

Kayla was an outstanding choice!" Hauer is currently a member in the lab of Beth Elacqua, assistant professor of chemistry, where her research focused on the synthesis and ring-opening metathesis ...
