Alkanolamines are polyfunctional molecules that include the properties of both alcohols and amines, and because of this they serve as key intermediates in the development of a wide range of products.

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 ...

During operation with elevated levels of CO 2 degradation products, the liquid treating system experienced corrosion failures on process equipment and operational upsets including amine-hydrocarbon ...

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 ...

Antimicrobial resistance and ecological disruption caused by broad-spectrum disinfectants have created an urgent need for ...

Chemists use alkylated amines to build plastics, pharmaceuticals, and more. Unfortunately, making these important building blocks on a large scale is energy intensive and relies on nonrenewable ...
