A high-yield, one-pot, scalable reaction facilitates the production of biologically relevant amide compounds using less reactive nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds and carboxylic acid without ...

In proteins, amino acids are held together by amide bonds. These bonds are long-lived and are robust against changes in temperature, acidity, or alkalinity. Certain medicines make use of reactions ...

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.

Alpha-substituted fatty amines and nitrogen-containing heterocycles are widely found in numerous bioactive natural products, pharmaceutical molecules, and agrochemicals. A recent analysis of small ...

Chemists have been using the Schmidt reaction, which transforms aldehydes and ketones into amides, for nearly 100 years. But the reaction has a downside that prevents it from being widely used: it ...

A recent study published in Small investigated how altering the surface charge of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) affects platinum (Pt) photodeposition and photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The ...
