A team of researchers headed by Prof. David Milstein at the Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS), have developed a novel set of manganese, ruthenium, and related borohydride complexes (Pincer-type). Amines, alcohols, amides, imines, and esters, are essential for industries such as ... Read more

A novel, selective, and direct synthesis of primary amines from alcohols and ammonia catalyzed by novel Pincer-type Ruthenium complexes. Present production methods of amines require harsh conditions such as high reaction temperatures (over 300oC) and pressures (over 15 atm). These... Read more
