Amide bonds are common in drugs because they are chemically stable, form readily and are biocompatible. They also help ...

Chemical structure of imatinib, a precision cancer drug containing an amide bond. Xiaoguang Lei and his team used their engineered enzyme to streamline the synthesis of imatinib, a landmark cancer ...

Researchers have resolved a problem that has limited the environmental sustainability of peracid synthesis. By judicious choice of the solvent and light input, approximately room-temperature ...

An electrogenerated acid can catalyze the synthesis and simultaneous immobilization of imine-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) onto electrodes, report scientists. Starting with amine and ...

Converting a mixture of mirror-image forms, or stereoisomers, of a molecule into a single isomer is a big deal in making pharmaceuticals, because usually only one isomer is useful as a drug. But ...

The research team led by Hanmin Huang and Bangkui Yu at the University of Science and Technology of China developed a palladium-catalyzed ...
