Diels-Alder reloaded: More effective with electricity The chemist cites the Diels-Alder reaction as a current example. For three quarters of a century, it has had a firm place in organic chemistry, ...

First reported in 1928 by Otto Diels and Kurt Alder, the Diels-Alder reaction is one of the most relevant transformations in organic chemistry. Its capacity to generate six-membered rings enables the ...

A new Diels-Alderase, CtdP, uses a unique mechanism to prime the substrate substance while converting nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, or NADP+, into its reduced form, or NADPH, enabling ...

Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT) provides a unified framework for interpreting how electron density redistributes during chemical reactions. By focusing on changes in the electron density ...
