Organic molecules that have a chiral center three or four carbon atoms from an amine nitrogen atom—called γ- and δ-chiral amines, respectively—are important structural elements in many pharmaceutical ...

Amines with remote stereocentres (stereocentres that are three or more bonds away from the C–N bond) are important structural elements in many pharmaceutical agents and natural products. However, ...

Now a team led by Klaus Banert at Chemnitz University of Technology has evaluated 10 previously reported approaches to synthesize more than a dozen alkylamines that the researchers claim have ...

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.
