A research team led by Professor Young-Jun Kim at the Sungkyunkwan Advanced Institute of Nano Technology (SAINT) of SKKU has ...

As undergraduate chemistry labs evolve, UC San Diego's CHEM 43A course stands at the forefront of safety innovation, merging Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) hazard protocols with McGraw Hill's ...

For months, organic chemists have been wrestling with the 'aroma problem' in NaBH4 reductions: the standard aqueous quench and ether/ethyl acetate extraction often leads to hydrolysis, emulsion ...

Industrial solvents are everywhere in the military. Whether you are degreasing machinery or stripping paint, you probably use a chemical that contains a solvent. Exposure to those chemicals, though, ...

Particular types of samples, such as those containing detergent, may create emulsions when doing an oil-in-water extraction into a solvent. The boundary between the sample and the solvent will have an ...

Molecules from the solvent environment that at first glance seem to be uninvolved can be essential for chemical reactions. This has been shown by researchers studying the formation of an ether in pure ...
