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 ...

Researchers have developed an automated chemical synthesis machine that can take over many tedious aspects of chemical experimentation, freeing chemists to spend time on the more analytical and ...

The article provides a comprehensive review of the current progress and future prospects of high-pressure-driven chemical synthesis, offering constructive guidance for the design and development of ...

Chemistry is all around us. From the widespread production of global food supplies to the metabolism that fuels the tiniest of microorganisms, everything in our surroundings is produced and controlled ...

Researchers develop a one pot process to transform aromatic ketones to esters, offering advancements in pharmaceutical synthesis and materials science. Aromatic ketones have traditionally been ...

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 ...

It’s a common enough scenario in many synthesis labs: you know what starting material you have, and you know what product you need but not quite what reaction conditions will get you there. Unless you ...

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 ...

There’s an old saying about a dollar waiting on a dime. In other words, a monumental endeavor may become stuck at some point if a key preliminary element remains unavailable. The saying could be ...
