Scientists have finally proven that reactive carbon species like vitamin B1 can persist in water, challenging the long-held belief that water destroys such molecules instantly. Using protective strategies, they observed and documented a stable carbene in water for the first time, supporting the 1958 hypothesis by Breslow and opening new avenues for greener, water-based chemical reactions.
