A controlled/"living" click polymerization method developed by researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo and Nagoya ...

Azido complexes, which incorporate the linear azide ligand (N₃⁻), have emerged as versatile intermediates in the construction of diverse heterocyclic frameworks. The inherent reactivity of ...

The most popular of the click reactions, the copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition, or CuAAC, is commonly used by chemical biologists, materials scientists, and polymer chemists.

The chemists start with an aromatic azide and use a photochemical reaction with ethylaminoethanol, followed by oxidation withN-bromocaprolactam.Only the carbon that was attached to the azide is ...

Speaking about the underlying mechanism that enabled the researchers to achieve this novel azide synthesis method, Dr. Yoshida recalls, "The Grignard reaction of organomagnesium compounds that ...

Instead of transporting compressed gas in the car to inflate the airbag, we take advantage of a very fast reaction that produces the needed gas. Many car airbag inflators contain small amounts of a ...
