The combination of Na[BH 4] with carboxylic acids results in the formation of acyloxyborohydride species other than sodium triacetoxyborohydride. These modified species can perform a variety of reductions not normally associated with borohydride chemistry, such as alcohols to hydrocarbons and nitriles to primary amines.
Neil K. Garg is currently a Distinguished professor of chemistry and holds the Kenneth N. Trueblood Endowed Chair at the University of California, Los Angeles. [1] [2]Garg's research is focused on the chemical synthesis of organic compounds, with an emphasis on the development of new strategies to prepare complex molecules possessing unique structural, biological, and physical properties.
Organic chemistry is a subdiscipline within chemistry involving the scientific study of the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds and organic materials, i.e., matter in its various forms that contain carbon atoms. [1]
The Journal of Organic Chemistry, colloquially known as JOC, is a peer-reviewed [1] scientific journal for original contributions of fundamental research in all branches of theory and practice [2] in organic and bioorganic chemistry. It is published by the publishing arm of the American Chemical Society, with 24 issues per year.
Current Organic Chemistry is a scientific review journal summarizing progress in the fields of asymmetric synthesis, organo-metallic chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, heterocyclic chemistry, natural product chemistry and analytical methods in organic chemistry. The journal is currently being edited by Dr. György Keglevich.
Elias James Corey (born July 12, 1928) is an American organic chemist.In 1990, he won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for his development of the theory and methodology of organic synthesis", [3] specifically retrosynthetic analysis.
The journal has absorbed two other publications in its history, the Journal of Analytical and Applied Chemistry (July 1893) and the American Chemical Journal (January 1914). It covers all fields of chemistry. Since 2021, the editor-in-chief is Erick M. Carreira . [2] In 2014, the journal moved to a hybrid open access publishing model.
α-Hydroxy acids, such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, and mandelic acid, serve as precursors in organic synthesis, playing a role in the industrial-scale preparation of various compounds. [13] [17] These acids are used when synthesizing aldehydes through oxidative cleavage.
