The emerging inverse electron demand Diels–Alder (IEDDA) reaction stands out from other
bioorthogonal reactions by virtue of its unmatchable kinetics, excellent orthogonality and …

The purpose of this review is to provide a critical survey covering a few decades of growing
interest in the application to polymer chemistry of the Diels–Alder (DA) reaction between …

Water is the solvent used by nature for biological chemistry. Considering the enormous
variety of biological organic synthetic pathways and the complicated molecular structures …

Water is the lingua franca of life on our planet and is the solvent of choice for Nature to carry
out her syntheses. 1 In contrast, our methods of making complex organic molecules have …

Organic syntheses are composed of two main types of reactions: Carbon-carbon bond
formations and functional group transformations. CC bond formation is the essence of …

Many organic chemists, myself included, will remember being told in early undergraduate
years “in organic synthesis water is a contaminant”. From the very beginning it was made …

Self-healing hydrogels and traditional hydrogels both have three-dimensional polymeric
networks that are capable of absorbing and retaining a large amount of water. Self-healing …
