The traditionally cumbersome yet widely-used Birch reduction can now be carried out in a mere minute in air using an optimized mechanochemical approach. The Birch reduction is a reaction commonly used ...

Reductive elimination reactions, in which a transition metal catalyzes new bond formation between two molecules, are one of organic chemists’ most powerful tools. For example, one flavor of these ...

The rGO technique and its related processes have their foundations in the Brodie method, which later became the Hummers method. Variants of the technique then developed on from the Hummers method. The ...
