The radical halogenation of alkanes lend themselves well to the teaching of basic material such as bond dissociation energies, potential energy profiles, enthalpy of reaction, activation energy, and ...

Nature provides lessons about developing ‘green chemistry’ in seemingly out-of-the-way places. One such lesson comes from an enzymatic step in the production of a leaf toxin by a bacterium.

Likewise, halogenation has remained a popular tool for tweaking a drug candidate's biological properties for nearly a century, notes medicinal chemist Paul S. Anderson, now retired after a 40-year ...

One of my students took these surprise shots during my alkane chemistry lecture. The whole chemistry of nomenclature of organic compounds begin with the first step, which the naming of alkanes ...
