Practical carbon capture technologies are still in the early stages of development, with the most promising involving a class of compounds called amines that can chemically bind with carbon dioxide.

A research team has discovered a new chemical reaction that provides a simple, rapid way of making tertiary amines -- swinging the door wide open to the discovery of new medicinal compounds. A ...

Amines are ubiquitous in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, and a nickel-based catalyst has now opened up a promising route to make these molecules from widely-available nitrile compounds ...

A critical chemical bond can be assembled using dinitrogen (N 2)—a molecule freely available in the air around us—chemists at RIKEN have shown in a new article published in Nature. This demonstration ...

The catalytic reaction of an N-alkyl arylamine with an unactivated olefin to produce a β-branched alkyl arylamine has been carried out for the first time in high yield (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007,129, ...

Imines are one of several reactive groups, called functional groups, that are present in a compound. The mechanism by which the compound reacts is attributed to the properties of its functional group.
