A new chemical tool to create efficient carbon-nitrogen bonds, lowering the cost of tomorrow’s medicine

A new chemical tool to create efficient carbon-nitrogen bonds, lowering the cost of tomorrow’s medicine

University of Missouri researchers and collaborators have developed a new chemical tool that could help lower the cost of prescription medications. The tool, called AshPhos, is a ligand, or molecule, that makes it easier to create special carbon-nitrogen bonds. These bonds are the backbone of more than half of all medicines on the market today. University…
