Chemists find a safer way to create carbenes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chemists find a safer way to create carbenes Alkylthianthrenium salts can be shaken up in a ball mill on a decagram scale The latest chemistry news, including important research advances, business and policy trends, chemical safety practices, career guidance, and more. There’s now a safer way to make cyclopropanes—three-carbon rings—thanks to a new reaction that generates carbenes from alkylthianthrenium salts. Carbenes react with double bonds to create cyclopropanes, but previous methods of gen

Second-generation C-to-N swap turns the first generation’s failure into a feature The latest chemistry news, including important research advances, business and policy trends, chemical safety practices, career guidance, and more. A new atom-swapping reaction gives chemists a versatile tool for replacing aromatic carbons with nitrogen in complex molecules. The atomic switcheroo will help drugmakers explore how pharmaceutical leads and natural products respond to tiny structural tweaks known as sk
Appel reaction can finally fluorinate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The classic alkyl halide–making reaction can, at long last, be used to generate alkyl fluorides A version of this story appeared in Volume 104, Issue 9 The latest chemistry news, including important research advances, business and policy trends, chemical safety practices, career guidance, and more. Chemists have a new tool that could make it safer to synthesize fluorinated pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials. The transformation is a riff on the Appel reaction, which turns alcohols into

The covalent drug arsenal gets a new warhead A mild, modular approach to adding bicyclobutanes could bring more selectivity to these therapies A version of this story appeared in Volume 104, Issue 9 The latest chemistry news, including important research advances, business and policy trends, chemical safety practices, career guidance, and more. A new platform that adds bicyclobutanes to amines could be used to create covalent drugs that have fewer side effects (Science 2026, DOI: 10.1126/science

Reaction rounds up atoms into unusual cyclic compounds Chiral aromatic heterocycles could be novel motifs in drug candidates The latest chemistry news, including important research advances, business and policy trends, chemical safety practices, career guidance, and more. Sulfonimidamides have become popular in the past decade or so as chemists explore novel motifs for drug candidates. They feature a central sulfur atom with a double bond to oxygen, a double bond to nitrogen, a single bond to an
