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 ...

Chemists have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes. Chemists from the National University of ...

The article provides a comprehensive review of the current progress and future prospects of high-pressure-driven chemical synthesis, offering constructive guidance for the design and development of ...

Speeding up drug discovery in the age of AI may come down to a concept that's comfortingly old-fashioned: Consulting a ...

Azides are chemical compounds widely used in synthetic organic chemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, and materials chemistry. However, conventional synthesis methods for azide compounds have severe ...

IN THE COMPLEX WORLD of catalysis, solid catalysts stand out as especially complex. Compared with liquid-phase catalysts, which generally are discrete molecules with clearly defined structures, solid ...

Ammonia is an essential chemical used across many industries worldwide. Beyond its traditional role as a fertilizer, it is also a promising liquid hydrogen carrier and low-carbon fuel that could help ...

Grinding stuff is probably one of the oldest ways to run a chemical reaction. For example, in the fourth century BCE, people extracted mercury from cinnabar by grinding the mineral with vinegar in ...

From synthetic biology and gene therapy to data storage and biofuel production, the demand for synthetic DNA is rising. (1) Chemicals remove the 5’-hydroxyl protecting group. The nucleosides are rich ...
