image: A series of amines, including synthetic challenging primary amines were synthesized with highly tolerance of other reducible functional groups. Mechanistic studies from control experiments and ...

A catalyst that effectively converts amides to amines at low temperature under low hydrogen pressure has been demonstrated by a team of researchers. Amines are vital in nature; for example, amino ...

A new reaction that uses an atypical starting material to create amide linkages could make it easier to prepare peptides and other amide-containing compounds that have been difficult to make until now ...

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 ...
