“Amides are ubiquitous functional groups in bioactive molecules, such as peptides,” says Gregory C. Fu at the California Institute of Technology, who coled the work. The conventional route to ...

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 ...

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 ...

A team at UNC-Chapel Hill has developed a new process for synthesizing amides in a 100% atom-economical, sustainable fashion using Earth-abundant, environmentally friendly cobalt. UNC-Chapel Hill ...

Osaka University group demonstrates a catalyst that effectively converts amides to amines at low temperature under low hydrogen pressure Amines are vital in nature; for example, amino acids—the ...
