Lithium (Li) metal plays a pivotal role in our society ranging from the development of lithium batteries to the preparation of organolithium reagents…

Highly reactive lithium (Li) sources are an essential component in the preparation of organolithium reagents, a widely used class of compounds in synthetic organic chemistry. Current methods for the preparation of organolithium reagents require impractical set-ups in academic laboratories…

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have become a powerful and indispensable synthetic tool for the formation of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, natural products, and agrochemicals…

The Buchwald-Hartwig amination made the synthesis of carbon-nitrogen bonds more accessible, safe, and efficient than traditional methods, establishing the importance of the Pd-catalyzed C-N cross coupling reaction in the pharmaceutical industry…

The functionalization of amines like tetrahydroquinoline is a powerful tool in the pharmaceutical industry and in natural product synthesis. The functionalization of these bonds is a pressing challenge in organic synthesis…

The presentation will focus on the initiatives taken by the Chemistry Student Safety Committee (CSSC), which represents the laboratory safety team (LST) of the Chemistry Department at Texas A&M University over the last two years…
