A detailed observational study of the trends in biological sciences publishing, including analysis of time-to-publication, time-to-graduation, and the increasing minimum publication unit. The paper is interwoven with thoughtful analysis and perspective from...
Full disclosure – I know two of the authors of this paper professionally, however this has had no effect on my review (either good or bad) this work – but for the sake of transparency I thought I should mention this!
First impressions:

Summary: The paper discusses the synthesis, reactivity and stability of α-lithio N,N dimethylacetamide.
The paper described carefully the use of various solvents (pentane, THF) and their impact on the formation of the desired product.
It also described...
Summary
The article describes the synthesis of cyclen based chelators which can accommodate and stabilize di-and trivalent metal ions for biomedical applications. The chelators were synthesized first by monoalkylating cyclen (1,4,7,10...
The procedure described in this paper is very reliable. The ozone should be used in a fully functional fume hood as described.
1. Synthesized 10.1 g of crude diphenaldehyde starting from 10.0 g of phenanthrene.
2. The crude 1H-NMR of product is 80%...
Summary:
A new copper selective solid-state electrode based on o-xylylenebis(N,N-diisobutyldithiocarbamate) ionophore has been described. It has been developed for selectively measuring the copper levels found in the tea infusion samples. Robust, cheap...
Summary:
This paper describes the theoretical study on borazine and substituted borazines by the means of density functional theory. Amino group was used as the common donor group while four acceptor groups namely –NO2, –C≡N, –COCl and –NMe2 were chosen...
Summary:
A convenient, clean and environmentally benign method for ‘‘on water’’ synthesis of benzothiazoles/benzothiazolines has been described. Although previous methods are available in literature for synthesis of such compounds, the ease of operation,...
This is a paper authored by myself. SO, I should not be able to write a review on it. This may lead to fake reviews. Please correct this issue.
Summary:
This paper reports a CTAB-catalyzed method developed for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzothiazoles by the condensation of 2-aminothiophenol with aldehydes (RCHO: R = Alkyl, Aryl, Heteroaryl, 2-Arylformyl). Use of cetyltrimethyl ammonium...
Toomey and colleagues report the results of a survey of 14 early career researchers (ECRs) about "open science". On a whole, these ECRs view open science positively, but hold reservations about the impact adopting open science practices might have on their...
Gold nanocarriers are fused with a ph responsive and a hydrophobic polymers to form a system that will more readily detect as well as release drugs in enviroments that are inhabited by cancerous tumors. In the body, the cancerous tumors thrive in an...
The article reports the catalytic isomerization of the branched cyanoolefin 2-methyl-3-butenenitrile (2M3BN) to the linear isomer 3-pentenenitrile (3PN) using nickel-phosphine complexes.
The authors report that the optimal catalytic experiment was carried...
Wanting to avoid a chromatographic separation of the Me esters as well as the greater expense of dimethyl itaconate, the reaction of alpha methyl benzylamine and itaconic acid was performed in xylene. The reaction was performed by adding the amine at 110 to...
Victor E. Marquez et. al. first introduced the concept of locked conformations, 2'-exo (North) and 3'-exo (South), of ribose ring in nucleosides. In this article the synthetic methodology and successful synthesis of receamic and conformationally locked South...
