Study of the structure–activity relationship of steroid sulfatase inhibitors explains why Irosustat is the best in its class

Best in Class!

Converting CO2 to Methyl Acrylate
Nickel catalyst can produce methyl acrylate in up to 56 % yield from carbon dioxide and ethene

Remarkable Carbon Capture by Borocarbonitrides
The large uptake of both CO2 and CH4 by BC2N betters the performance of graphenes and activated charcoal

Aromatic Halogenation Under Mild Conditions
The selective halogenation of ligands of a trinuclear copper complex has been obtained under extremely mild conditions

New Family of N-Heterocyclic Carbenes for Organocatalysis
New family of NHCs suitable for benzoin-type coupling reactions and might enable new or improved organocatalytic processes

New Catalyst for Hydrogenation
Catalyst with MgF2 support is four times more active than catalysts supported on commercial Al2O3

Catalyst for Methane Activation
Facile and rapid preparation method for a wide variety of medium surface area perovskite-type catalysts on the laboratory scale

New Probes for DNA Replication
Two new chemical probes could help shed light on DNA replication pathways and their role in human diseases

Cheap and Simple Olefin Isomerization
Practical, cheap, and general protocol that uses iron for olefin isomerization could be used in fine chemical or pharmaceutical synthesis

Active Nanotube Adsorption Sites Uncovered
New understanding of carbon catalyst surface could aid development of commercial catalyst for oxidative dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons
