Catalytic hydrogenation stands as a cornerstone in modern synthetic chemistry, affording a practical and atom‐efficient route to form amines—a class of compounds that underpin a vast array of ...
In a paper just published at the website of ACS Catalysis, the Biocatalysis research group at the University of Amsterdam’s Van ‘t Hoff Institute for Molecular Synthesis presents a versatile method ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Secondary amines are an indispensable category of chemicals with extensive applications across industries such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and polymers. As the demand for ...
A single type of chemical structure that shows up again and again in modern medicine is the amide bond that links a carbonyl ...
The authors’ approach is deceptively simple: take an aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme, which naturally converts aldehydes to acids, and get it to react with an amine instead of water. But actually making ...
