Strike while the iron is hot, advises the old adage. Chemists in California have now taken that blacksmith’s advice to heart, using an iron catalyst to forge secondary amines from nitroarenes and ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Amines are an important class of organic compounds. Students might be aware that adrenaline and ephedrine, which contain secondary amino groups, are used to increase blood pressure. Novocain which is ...

Cyclic amines are ubiquitous core structures of bioactive natural products and pharmaceutical drugs. Although the site-selective abstraction of C–H bonds is an attractive strategy for preparing ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Organic chemists love their functional groups and perhaps the most hotly pursued of these amours is the amine. Arylamines, for example, are often important components of pharmaceuticals or other ...

Nitrosamine impurities became a topic of focus when health regulators recalled valsartan, an antihypertensive drug, due to the presence of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a probable carcinogenic agent ...

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 ...
