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.

A research team has discovered a new chemical reaction that provides a simple, rapid way of making tertiary amines -- swinging the door wide open to the discovery of new medicinal compounds. A ...

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 ...

(Phys.org)—Beyond designing a drug that will attack cancer cells or bacterial cells, drug design also involves figuring out how the drug can safely enter the body and find its target before doing its ...

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 ...

(Phys.org)—A group of researchers from the University of Texas have developed a sequential, two-step amine and thiol coupling reaction via click chemistry using a derivative of Meldrum's acid. This ...

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 ...

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 ...
