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 ...

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 ...

(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 ...
