Japanese Chemists Find Safer Path to Key Drug-Building Compounds

Chemists at the Tokyo University of Science (TUS) in Japan have developed a new method to produce a class of highly versatile chemical building blocks used in drug development, replacing a hazardous process with a safer, milder alternative. The research, published in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition on April… Chemists at the Tokyo University of Science (TUS) in Japan have developed a new method to produce a class of highly versatile chemical building blocks used in drug development, replacing a hazardous process with a safer, milder alternative.
