In the world of drug development and hormone research, pregn derivatives don’t get the flashy headlines, but anyone who’s spent time in a university chemistry lab knows their presence runs deep. Ask anyone who ...
Science sometimes tosses up names that hardly roll off the tongue, but behind that clunky label sits something practical. 19-Nor compounds are a solid example—these molecules pop up in the middle of chemistry classes ...
Scientists discovered early on that nature’s own blueprints, the androst and estra backbones, showed remarkable potential for building hormones that shift the course of medicine. Chemists have tinkered with these structures si...
Ask anyone outside the chemical sector what propylamine, butylamine, and hexylamine do, and most eyes glaze over. Yet, factories and supply chains worldwide quietly rely on these amines every single day—often in...
Walk into any modern farm and you’ll see chemicals built from small things nobody talks about—take methylamine and ethylamine, for example. These aren’t the kind of names people throw around the dinner table, but without t...
Every organic chemist runs into a nitrile sooner or later, whether reading a journal article or during an experiment at the fume hood. They show up as the functional group with a carbon triple-bonded to nitrogen—smal...
