Chemistry Method Expedites Path to Useful Molecules for Medicine

A collaboration of Chinese and U.S. chemists has laid out a highly efficient new method to convert abundant organic molecules into new medicines. Teams led by the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry (SIOC) and the University of Wisconsin-Madison describe a way to convert carbon-hydrogen bonds into nitriles, common components of bioactive molecules used in medicinal and agricultural applications.
