In the 1940s antibiotics were widely introduced as a cure for common types of diseases. However‚ some of the diseases started to build up a resistance to the antibiotics and in result‚ the antibiotics became ineffective. In order to help resolve the crisis‚ antibiotics were found through screenings of soil microorganisms. However‚ soil microorganism’s antibiotics were depleted by the 1960s and their antibiotic effects were unable to be replicated through synthesis. In this experiment‚ the researchers

catalytic efficiency of complex 2 for a wide range of aromatic‚ heterocyclic‚ cyclic and aliphatic ketones. To compare the results‚ all the reactions were carried out under identical conditions. The alcoholic products were analysed by GC-MS and 1H-NMR (entries 2‚ 15 and 16) after doing the required workup (Figs. S5-S20‚ see supplementary information). The complex catalysed TH of ketones to their corresponding alcohols with good to excellent conversions in all the cases. The existence of electron-withdrawing

In this lab several molecules were created and given specific bond lengths before running a Gaussian test for optimization and frequency. Through this test the vibrational frequency‚ force constant‚ reduced mass and point group were
