Nucleophilic substitution reactions remain a cornerstone of organic chemistry, offering a window into the fundamental aspects of reactivity and selectivity in molecular transformations. At the heart ...
In undergraduate organic chemistry courses, nucleophilic substitution reactions are often carried out as an experiment. Reactions that occur at saturated carbons are chiefly categorized as S N 1 or S ...
Understanding the delicate balance between nucleophilicity and electrophilicity is fundamental to rationalising reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry. Nucleophilic reactivity describes a molecule’s ...
Scientists Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar Yaghi won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for the development of metal ...
