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

The site-selective amination, which links arenes to aromatic nitrogen heterocycles or ammonia, offers chemists an easy way to make derivatives of aromatic compounds. Such a transformation could be a ...

The controlled modification of natural products enables chemists to alter the physical properties and resulting functions of these complex molecules. Selective reaction at a specific hydroxyl group in ...

Strike while the iron is hot, advises the old adage. Chemists in California have now taken that blacksmith’s advice to heart, using an iron catalyst to forge secondary amines from nitroarenes and ...

Led by Director CHANG Sukbok, scientists from the Center for Catalytic Hydrocarbon Functionalizations within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have made a breakthrough in understanding the ...
