A team of chemists has demonstrated a way to form sulfur-sulfur bonds at room temperature without any external catalyst, ...

It’s hard to improve on a classic. But Richard Y. Liu was eager to take on that challenge. Cross-coupling reactions, including Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and Buchwald-Hartwig amination, are some of the ...

Chemists from ETH Zurich have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound.

Researchers develop a one pot process to transform aromatic ketones to esters, offering advancements in pharmaceutical synthesis and materials science. Aromatic ketones have traditionally been ...

Drug discovery is like molecular Tetris. Chemists snap atoms together, adjusting the pieces until everything fits, and suddenly, a molecule makes a promising new medicine. Normally, creating better ...

A new catalyst strategy developed at Institute of Science Tokyo uses BaSi2 as a support for nickel and cobalt to decompose ...

Researchers used a novel phosphate-activation reagent, 2-MeImIm-Cl, in an improved coupling reaction to increase the yield of ADP- or ATP-containing molecules. Unlike traditional reactions, the ...

A straightforward and reproducible synthesis pathway for a diverse range of ATP- and ADP-coupled biomolecules has been developed by modifying an established reagent. Researchers at the Institute for ...
