Chemists have developed a novel and efficient method to make amines, which are among the most important structural compounds in pharmaceuticals and organic materials. Amines are molecules that contain ...

New research presents a versatile method for the synthesis of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines containing two stereogenic centers. In a paper just published at the website of ACS Catalysis, the ...

Catalytic hydrogenation stands as a cornerstone in modern synthetic chemistry, affording a practical and atom‐efficient route to form amines—a class of compounds that underpin a vast array of ...

This module explores the synthesis of amines with a focus on the reductive amination reaction. Numerous examples from the discovery and commercial manufacturing of pharmaceuticals are included. After ...

Amines are ubiquitous in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, and a nickel-based catalyst has now opened up a promising route to make these molecules from widely-available nitrile compounds ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Secondary amines are an indispensable category of chemicals with extensive applications across industries such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and polymers. As the demand for ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – A University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign research team has discovered a way to produce a special class of molecule that could open the door for new drugs to treat currently ...

Now a team led by Klaus Banert at the Chemnitz University of Technology has attempted to determine how much steric stress these compounds can tolerate. Using 10 previously reported approaches, they ...
