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 ...

Chemists have been using the Schmidt reaction, which transforms aldehydes and ketones into amides, for nearly 100 years. But the reaction has a downside that prevents it from being widely used: it ...

A practical method has been devised to synthesize compounds that have previously been almost impossible to make. The combination of fluorine atoms and amide groups in the compounds might be useful in ...

Novel, atom-efficient routes to amides from esters and carboxylic acids for more sustainable manufacturing. It is well known that amide-formation chemistry can be inefficient and warrants further ...
