How the Keto Diet Went from Arctic Staple to Bro-Science
The keto diet is a high fat, low carb diet that proponents say is not just great for losing weight, but is good for your brain health, too. Does the science behind the diet back those claims up? We delve into the origin of the keto diet...

The Haloform Reaction
Once again, we will be interested in learning about reactions that break carbon-carbon bonds, as this will allow us to perform necessary transformations on substrates. The haloform reaction is one such reaction, and it is commonly used...

Fischer Indole Synthesis
We've talked about a few heterocycles, but one important aromatic one we didn't mention is the indole. This is a component of a variety of biomolecules. So how can we make them? Nobel prize winner Emil Fischer developed the Fischer...

McMurry Reaction
It's now time to dig into some olefination reactions, which generate olefins, or alkenes. The first is the McMurry reaction. It involves some rather mysterious titanium chemistry, via a mechanism that is not fully understood. Let's check...
