1,700+ technical articles by Aladdin Scientific's scientists on reagent selection, reaction mechanisms, assay design and formulation. New every week.
Professor Karl Anker Jørgensen and his research team have synthesized (R)- and (S)-α,α-bis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2-pyrrolidinemethanol trimethylsilyl ether compounds, which excel as chiral organocatalysts for the direct and asymmetric α-functionalization process of aldehydes.
Ethidium bromide (EtBr) is a classical fluorescent dye widely used in molecular biology research. Its chemical structure consists of a tri-benzimidazole, which can intercalate between the base pairs of DNA or RNA, significantly enhancing its fluorescence signal. Initially discovered as a ...
The rapid development of materials science has profoundly reshaped the core paradigm of drug delivery, particularly exerting unprecedented transformative power in the field of cancer therapeutics. Currently, scientists have successfully developed intelligent systems capable of delivering ...
Chloranil, and the parent benzoquinone, are relatively mild oxidants (dehydrogenation reagents).
Chloramine-T is a source of electrophilic chlorine. In water, chloramine-T is decomposed to yield hypochlorite, which acts as a disinfectant, and the sulfonamide moiety, which inhibits bacterial grow due to the similarity with para-aminobenzoic acid (a bacterial metabolite). Chloramine-T can ...
NHC-trihydroboranes are white solids that are stable to air, water, and even chromatography. However, 1,3-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene borane is a surprisingly good hydride donor that is comparable to anionic reagents such as NaCNBH3. The reagent can be used for reductive amination procedures and ...

The use of chloramine-B as the oxidant and KI or NaBr as the halogen source enables a direct oxidative halogenation of terminal alkynes to provide synthetically valuable 1-iodoalkynes and 1-bromoalkynes in very good yields under mild reaction conditions.
Dextrans are polysaccharides with molecular weights starting at 1,000 Daltons, consisting of a linear backbone of α-linked D-glucopyranosyl units. Their unique structural properties and versatility make them essential in various biological and medical research applications.
