Thyssenkrupp Uhde GmbH (Dortmund, Germany), in partnership with Novonesis Group (Lyngby, Denmark), announced the launch of ...

A study led by Prof. Yin Huajie from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences introduces an innovative way to improve esterification reactions, which are key ...

This is known as esterification. In a condensation reaction, two molecules join and produce a larger molecule whilst eliminating a small molecule. During esterification this small molecule is water.

Vojtěch Dočekal, co-author of the study. This asymmetric esterification has proven highly effective when using catalysis by low molecular weight chiral catalysts derived from natural amino acids ...
