Adeel Abbas What is Friedel-Craft acylation? Addition of acyl group into Benzene ring is known as Friedel-Crafts acylation. Usually, an acid chloride (R-(C=O)-Cl) and a Lewis acid catalyst like AlCl3 are used to do this. A ketone is created from the aromatic ring in a Friedel-Crafts acylation process. Below is an illustration of how benzene and an … Read more

In this article, I am going to share with you the importance of the topic and how you can understand biochemistry with the help of organic chemistry. Biochemistry … Read more
Written by Adeel Abbas The introduction of alkyl group (R) into benzene is called Friedel-Craft Alkylation. Friedel crafts alkylation is important reaction of benzene. Overall Reaction For Friedel Crafts Alkylation Explanation The term Friedel-Craft alkylation describes the substitution of an alkyl group for an aromatic proton. This is accomplished by using a carbocation to conduct … Read more
Researchers have used simulations for the laser-driven electron dynamics of excitation and ionization processes in small molecules. They have investigated the capability of known quantum computing algorithms for fault-tolerant quantum computing to simulate them. These quantum computer algorithms were originally developed in a different context. Scientists used the new technique to study how molecules react … Read more
A new study from Dr. Benjamin Rotstein’s lab at the University of Ottawa has unveiled a new, simple method to prepare isotope-labeled versions of drugs and diagnostics for use in preclinical and clinical research. They developed a method to exchange a single atom in amino acids—the building blocks of proteins—to replace it with its heavy … Read more
Research conducted by a team of scientists at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Hokkaido University, and Yamaguchi University has demonstrated a way to easily synthesize a gel containing high-molecular-weight polymers and non-volatile ionic liquids. This plastic gel will be recyclable and self-healable, which will reduce the need for petroleum-based plastics. In addition, it … Read more
Researchers have found that combining light with matter could generate a new class of matter known as hybrid polaritons. The study of hybrid polaritons could lead to faster, more efficient chemical reactions. Dr. Xiong and Dr. Zhou wanted to find out whether polariton modes and dark modes (the molecular byproduct of polariton creation) both modify … Read more
written by Adeel Abbas One of the most efficient ways to synthesize a diverse range of bioactive compounds involves the direct functionalization of the C-H bonds of pyridines. This is a straightforward approach to synthesizing complex molecules, including in the final stage of the synthesis sequence. The problem is that the pyridine in a certain … Read more
Scientists at Stanford University have used an electron microscope to view the molecular arrangement of a new-age polymer and combined it with computer modeling to create a simulation of how those changes could improve the flow of electricity. The team led by Dr. Salleo developed a new mathematical approach that lets them explore complex systems … Read more
A versatile and simple method for the synthesis of chiral primary, secondary, and tertiary amines containing two stereogenic centers has been developed by the Biocatalysis group at the University of Amsterdam. The enzymatic process using a biocatalytic system consisting of ene-reductases (EReds) and reductive aminases (IReds/RedAm) is a very interesting and effective approach to the … Read more
