The European Commission seeks views on revision of REACH, the EU’s chemicals legislation

European Chemicals Strategy to be Revised

Safer Reagent for the Direct Amidation of Carboxylic Acids
Methyltrimethoxysilane as a non-harmful alternative to tetramethylorthosilicate (TMOS)

Enhanced Electrochemical Synthesis of Ammonia
RuFe bimetallic nanoparticles on a MXene support used as an efficient catalyst

Radical–Metal Complex with Record Fluorescence Quantum Yield
Luminescence greatly enhanced upon coordination to gold-NHC complex

Polyoxometalates Used for the Hydrolysis of Insoluble Proteins
Artificial proteases that work in the presence of surfactants; useful for protein characterization

Scalable Total Synthesis of (−)-Triptonide
Metal-catalyzed hydrogen atom transfer (MHAT)-initiated radical cyclization leads to natural product

New Reagent for Efficient Catalytic Imidations
Copper-catalyzed imidations and imidocyanations using a novel N-fluorinated imide

Benzothiazinone Analogues against Tuberculosis
New synthetic path to 8-nitrobenzothiazinones
