Ever heard of a rule that’s been around for so long, everyone just assumes it’s unbreakable? Well, a team of scientists is turning that notion on its head by proving wrong a key rule of organic chemistry.
Neil Garg, a distinguished professor of chemistry and biochemistry, is leading the charge to rewrite a fundamental principle that’s been part of organic chemistry for the past hundred years.
In a recent study published in Science, Garg and his colleagues at UCLA revealed that Bredt’s rule — a staple in chemistry textbooks since 1924 — might not be as ironclad as we’ve been led to believe.
But before we get into how they’re shaking things up, let’s take a step back and understand what this rule is all about. READ MORE from Earth.com
