UCLA chemists believe it’s time to rewrite the textbooks as they figured out how to violate Bredt’s rule, which will help chemists discover new medicines. In 1924, Bredt’s rule was more or less ...

Carbon is a gregarious little atom, bending over backwards to link with a wide variety of elements in what is collectively referred to as organic chemistry. Life itself wouldn't be possible without ...

A once well-established chemistry law now has an asterisk attached after a challenge from UCLA researchers. Neil Garg, a distinguished professor in the chemistry and biochemistry department, said ...

In advanced chemistry labs and classrooms around the world, one rule has quietly endured for nearly a century. Introduced in ...

According to Bredt's rule, double bonds cannot exist at certain positions on organic molecules if the molecule's geometry deviates too far from what we learn in textbooks. This rule has constrained ...

Bredt's rule, established in 1924 by German chemist Julius Bredt, has been a guiding principle in organic chemistry for a hundred years. The rule states that a double bond cannot exist at the ...

A team of researchers from University of California, Los Angeles, has created molecules, whose existence was considered impossible, according to the rule Bredt. However, the so-called “anti-Bredt ...

It may contain inaccuracies due to the limitations of machine translation. UCLA team finds a way to use highly unstable molecules, opening new avenues for synthesizing novel compounds. A new study ...

Organic chemistry may be on the verge of a new era. A team of researchers from UCLA claims that a fundamental principle taught for the past century doesn't hold up. Their discovery is shaking the ...
