Sulfones, a class of sulfur-containing compounds, are chemically derived from the selective oxidation of sulfides. While these compounds form the core of the pharmaceuticals, solvents and polymer ...

The catalytic epoxidation of propylene with molecular oxygen represents a sustainable route to propylene oxide, a key precursor in polyurethane and polyether production. This process seeks to supplant ...

Bacterial evolution and oxygen adaptation: A timeline built from genomic, fossil, and chemical data. Colors show oxygen states: anaerobic (blue), aerobic (red), and proportion of aerobic lineages in ...

As a recent leap in green chemistry, scientists have unveiled a new catalyst that enables high yields of sulfones using molecular oxygen -- at close to room temperature. By fine-tuning the structure ...
