Amide bonds connect the amino acids in proteins and occur in many other useful molecules. An amide-forming reaction that turns the conventional approach on its head offers a practical way of making ...

DESPITE THEIR FUNDAMENTAL ROLE in chemical and biochemical systems, amides are tough to make. Routes to this functional group usually employ toxic reagents, such as thionyl chloride; require corrosive ...

Osaka, Japan--Amines are vital in nature; for example, amino acids -- the building blocks of proteins and thus fundamental to life -- are amines. Numerous materials including pharmaceuticals, dyes, ...

image: A series of amines, including synthetic challenging primary amines were synthesized with highly tolerance of other reducible functional groups. Mechanistic studies from control experiments and ...

Mevopur anti-stat is tested to new stringent regulations and maintains anti-static performance at low humidity levels. Clariant, a supplier of specialty chemicals, has launched a new amide/amine-free ...

A pair of copper catalysts can create chiral amides in a new, light-driven process, offering a useful alternative to the standard method for making these staples of medicinal chemistry (Nature 2021, ...

A catalyst that effectively converts amides to amines at low temperature under low hydrogen pressure has been demonstrated by a team of researchers. Amines are vital in nature; for example, amino ...
