Magic methyl in medicinal chemistry

Featured, Sci Update

Methyl groups are very common in drug molecules. As reported by Heike Schonherr and Tim Cernak1, more than half of the top-selling drugs contains a CH3. A simple substitution of a C-H with a methyl can increase the potency of a compound by more than 100-fold. The...

Buchwald palladium precatalysts

Featured, Sci Update

Palladium based catalysis is the most used tool to perform the formation of C-C, C-O and C-N. There are many sources of palladium such as PdOAc2, PdCl2 or Pd2dba3. However the related methods do not always allow sufficient conversion. Palladium precatalysts is an...
