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 ...

Amidation reactions are the most common reactions in the chemical industry. They are indispensable for a wide range of industrial production processes, but their ecological footprint is highly ...

Even though amide bonds are everywhere—they hold proteins together and are essential components in many drugs—forging this molecular motif in a reaction flask can be challenging. For example, making ...

Linking molecular components through amide bonds is one of the most important reactions in research and the chemical industry. Scientists have now introduced a new type of reaction for making amide ...

Nature typically outdoes chemists when it comes to efficiently carrying out reactions. But for a nickel—or make that a simple nickel catalyst—a team of UCLA chemists has matched wits with enzymes on ...

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

• Freiburg chemist Dr Tobias Schnitzer receives €1.5 million from the Vector Foundation to develop sustainable amidation reactions. • These reactions do not require toxic reagents and are highly ...
