Funicello, Maria; Cerminara, Iole; Chiummiento, Lucia; Lupattelli, Paolo; Felluga, Fulvia; Berti, Federico – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) represent very interesting tools to reach eco-friendly and sustainable transformations in organic chemistry. In particular, the Biginelli reaction furnishes a very easy approach to the synthesis of a library of biological active compounds in an academic course. Here we describe the realization of several experiments…

Taylor, Ann T. S. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2013
Most biochemistry, genetics, cell biology, and molecular biology classes have extensive prerequisite or co-requisite requirements, often including introductory chemistry, introductory biology, and organic chemistry coursework. But what is the function of these prerequisites? While it seems logical that a basic understanding of biological and…

Aucoin, Marc G.; Jolicoeur, Mario – Chemical Engineering Education, 2009
Undergraduate and graduate engineering training differ significantly. The former looks to established protocols and formulas to design and control processes while the latter often involves questioning established protocols and formulas to better suit and describe phenomena. Although we do not dispute the benefits of practical hands-on approaches,…
