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 ...

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 ...

Tertiary amines, made of a nitrogen bound to three carbons, occur frequently in drug structures but are complicated to make. Synthesis often requires multiple steps under different reaction conditions ...

The intermolecular hydroamination of unactivated alkenes with simple dialkyl amines remains an unsolved problem in organic synthesis. We report a catalytic protocol for efficient additions of cyclic ...

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 ...

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 untreatable diseases.

In a paper just published at the website of ACS Catalysis, the Biocatalysis research group at the University of Amsterdam’s Van ‘t Hoff Institute for Molecular Synthesis presents a versatile method ...
