Intense heat and vapors are produced in the demonstration. Perform only with adequate ventilation. Handle hot glassware with care. Do not breathe aluminum dust.

In contrast to conventional organic synthesis, mechanochemistry does not use solvents that eventually become industrial ...

The reaction of zinc metal with iodine shows direct combination, decomposition, recrystallization of sublimed I2, and electrolysis.

(1) Chemicals remove the 5’-hydroxyl protecting group. The nucleosides are rich in exposed hydroxyl and amino groups, so scientists use protecting groups to prevent unintended reactions with compounds ...

A new theory predicts one of the effects of macroscopic mechanical forces on mechanochemical organic synthesis by a ball mill.
