Novel biomass-based polymers composed of 2-pyrone-4,6-dicarboxylic acid (PDC), which was isolated from lignin as a chemically stable metabolic intermediate, were synthesized by the copper (Cu) ...

The very high conversions reached by 'click' reactions under mild conditions make them very popular for modular syntheses — and none more so than the copper-catalysed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC ...

The proposed platform for triple click chemistry has three functional groups that can be independently targeted for replacement by choosing an appropriate reaction partner. This platform is compatible ...

The copper-catalyzed addition of azides and alkynes to form triazoles has been hailed as the crème de la crème of click chemistry—a way to assemble molecules via rapid, irreversible reactions. It is ...

A new scientific review reveals how click chemistry—a highly efficient chemical approach—is transforming oncology by merging ...

A new reaction that makes azides from virtually any primary amine gives chemists the ability to create vast libraries of compounds poised for click chemistry. The transformation, discovered by Jiajia ...
