Chemists just broke a 100-year-old rule and say it's time to rewrite the textbooks

Summary

Nutrition label

87% Informative

Organic molecules, those made primarily of carbon, are characterized by having specific shapes and arrangements of atoms.

Molecules known as olefins have double bonds, or alkenes, between two carbon atoms.

Olefins are useful in pharmaceutical research, but Bredt 's rule has constrained the kind of synthetic molecules scientists can imagine making with them.

A paper published in the journal Science has invalidated that idea.
