UCLA Chemists Redefines 100-Year-Old Chemistry Rule: Here's Everything You Need to Know
A groundbreaking achievement by UCLA scientists, led by Professor Neil Garg, has overturned a century-old organic chemistry principle, reshaping future drug discovery. By synthesising stable anti-Bredt olefins, the team has defied Bredt's rule from 1924, a long-standing constraint in molecular design. This discovery could open doors to new molecula...
