Primary amines are extensively used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and material science. Among various reported methods to access primary amines, the direct amination of ...

Researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery by identifying the structure and reactivity of rhodium-acylnitrenoid intermediates in catalytic hydrocarbon amination reactions. By studying ...

Carbon dioxide (CO 2) electrocatalytic reduction driven by renewable electricity can solve the problem of excessive CO 2 emissions. Since CO 2 is thermodynamically stable, efficient catalysts are ...

Reductive amination of carbonyl compounds with primary amines is a well-established synthetic methodology for the selective production of unsymmetrically substituted secondary and tertiary amines.

Chiral α-tertiary amines can be accessed directly through the electrophilic amination of α-branched ketones utilizing di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate as the electrophilic nitrogen source. This process, ...

An organocatalytic asymmetric decarboxylative amination reaction of β-keto acids is described. Under mild reaction conditions, a series of chiral α-amino ketones were obtained in good to high yields ...

Flashes of light help chemists at Princeton University and Bristol-Myers Squibb drive the hydroaminations of olefins to produce substituted amines. The light-powered reaction gives chemists another ...
