A new approach to building 3D molecules for better drugs

A report in the journal Science from researchers in the UW–Madison Department of Chemistry represents a significant advance in making the types of molecules needed in drug development. Molecules with three-dimensional complexity ...

Copper radical mimics enzyme for highly efficient C-H oxidation

Optically pure alcohols are prevalent motifs in natural products and pharmaceuticals, driving the development of effective methods for their synthesis. Since the first reports of the Kharasch-Sosnovsky reaction in 1958, the ...

Synthesizing polymers with an unprecedented structure

For more than two decades, the Ihara research group has been focusing on the development of new methods for polymer syntheses using diazocarbonyl compounds as monomers. They found that diazoacetate can be polymerized by a ...

A cleaner vision: Research supports safe, sustainable suds

Anyone who's ever lathered up knows the dilemma. The same qualities that make surfactants—the chemical compounds in soaps, shampoos and detergents that penetrate grease, dissolve stains and make those satisfying suds in ...
