This module explores the synthesis of amines with a focus on the reductive amination reaction. Numerous examples from the discovery and commercial manufacturing of pharmaceuticals are included. After ...

Chemists have developed a straightforward method to convert common chemicals like carboxylic acids, alcohols, and alkanes directly into valuable alkenes. Chemists from the National University of ...

Speeding up drug discovery in the age of AI may come down to a concept that's comfortingly old-fashioned: Consulting a ...

Azides are chemical compounds widely used in synthetic organic chemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, and materials chemistry. However, conventional synthesis methods for azide compounds have severe ...

Ammonia is an essential chemical used across many industries worldwide. Beyond its traditional role as a fertilizer, it is also a promising liquid hydrogen carrier and low-carbon fuel that could help ...

PhD students Oliver Newton and Lenka Cuprova use automated synthesis equipment. At Imperial College London, a new PhD-training program will teach students like Oliver Newton (left) and Lenka Cuprova ...

Grinding stuff is probably one of the oldest ways to run a chemical reaction. For example, in the fourth century BCE, people extracted mercury from cinnabar by grinding the mineral with vinegar in ...

There’s been this dream for decades. What if we could just print out an entire gene directly, one base at a time? —Daniel Lin-Arlow, Ansa Biotechnologies As scientists set their sights on cell and ...
