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 ...

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 ...
