New catalytic technique creates key component of incontinence drug in less time
A research group at Nagoya University in Japan has developed a new catalyst that promises to revolutionize the asymmetric synthesis of pharmaceuticals called chiral macrocyclic dilithium(I) salt. It overcomes the lack of reactivity of ketones and the difficulty inducing them to arrange atoms, which are common challenges in drug-making. The researchers used their technique to … Read more
