Chemists Break 100-Year-Old Organic Chemistry Rule
A team of scientists led by Professor Neil Garg is redefining a fundamental principle in organic chemistry. Bredt’s rule, which has been a cornerstone of the field since 1924, may not be as unbreakable as thought. Bredt’s rule states that double bonds cannot exist at certain positions within bridged bicyclic molecules, known as olefins. However, … Read more
