News Chemical Synthesis

• A chemical factory for all cases
  

  In the future, bottlenecks in the supply of medicines could be more easily eliminated. An automated machine for radial synthesis developed by chemists at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces will enable the flexible production of medical agents and other chemical products. The apparat more

• A cheaper way to scale up atomic layer deposition
  

  Atomic layer deposition (ALD) involves stacking layers of atoms on top of each other like pancakes. The atoms come from a vaporized material called a precursor. ALD is a well-established technique for manufacturing microelectronics like semiconductors and magnetic heads for sound recording, as well more

• A new way to make valuable chemicals
  

  In an effort to develop sustainable solutions to humanity's energy needs, many scientists are studying carbon capture and utilization -- the practice of using excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere or from point sources, instead of fossil fuels, to synthesize chemicals used to make everyday product more

White papers Chemical Synthesis

• Chemical Synthesis – a new and versatile way to multifunctional [cd,lm]-annellated Perylenes and their Homlogues
  

  The method presented here for producing multifunctional Pyrenes, Perylenes and other homologue compounds provides a very flexible and effective route more

• Innovative Techniques to Synthesize Breakthrough Molecules
  

  Four case studies highlight how top pharmaceutical companies are implementing new synthesis techniques and the impact on the chemical synthesis lab more

Publications Chemical Synthesis

• The discovery of a freezing-induced peptide ligation during the total chemical synthesis of human interferon-ε

  A counterintuitive freezing-induced peptide ligation was discovered in the total synthesis of human interferon-ε (hIFN-ε) which blocks HIV infection through unique mechanisms. The successful synthesis of hIFN-ε (187 amino acids) in this research laid the foundation for related anti-AIDS drug develop more

• Synthesis of Hydrophobic Insulin-based Peptides Using a Helping-Hand Strategy

  The introduction of solid-phase peptide synthesis in the 1960’s improved the chemical synthesis of both the A- and B-chains of insulin and insulin analogs. However, the subsequent elaboration of the synthetic peptides to generate active hormones continues to be difficult and complex due in part to t more

• Plant extracts as green reductants for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles: Lessons from chemical synthesis

  The increasing use of silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) in daily-life applications, elec-tronics, or catalysis calls for green and cost-efficient synthetic methods. Ag NPs are used especially in biomedicine because of their antibacterial, antifungal or anticancer properties. The chemical synthesis all more
