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 ...

The partnership’s aim is to revolutionize traditional amide-formation techniques by generating alternative methods for amide-bond formation that will be more eco-friendly and chemically versatile, ...

Polymers are one of the most important elements of modern-day society, particularly in the form of plastics. Unfortunately most common polymers are derived from fossil resources, which not only mak… ...

Now, researchers at the University of Chicago have devised what they call a “hook-and-slide” homologation strategy for adding multiple carbons to carbon chains adjacent to amides, all at once.
