Electricity-Driven Nitrogen Insertion Opens a Sustainable Path to Drug-Ready Heterocycles

Scientists at the National University of Singapore have developed an electricity-driven method to insert nitrogen into stable carbon rings, enabling greener synthesis of valuable heterocycles. Published in Nature Synthesis, the approach avoids harsh chemicals, reduces waste, and allows access to key drug-ready molecular frameworks under mild conditions.Scientists at the National University of Singapore have developed an electricity-driven method to insert nitrogen into stable carbon rings, enabling greener synthesis of valuable heterocycles.
