The inhibition of the tyrosine – tyrosinase reaction by hydroquinone mono-benzyl ether was confirmed, but no evidence of any accelerating effect on the autoxidation of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine ...

Autoxidation in common laboratory solvents can lead to unstable and potentially explosive peroxide formation. The reaction can be initiated by exposure to air, heat, light, or contaminants. Most of ...

Taking inspiration from enzymes, chemists have developed a catalyst to simplify the synthesis of ethers, key functional components of many drugs, foods, personal care items and other consumer goods.
