Researchers at Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU), in collaboration with St. Petersburg State University, have developed a novel method to synthesize imidazoles heterocycles using oxygen from the air as a key reagent.
This innovation has the potential to reduce costs and simplify the production of a wide range of medicinal substances and useful materials. Imidazoles are a crucial component of various organic molecules, which serve as the foundation for creating drugs with diverse applications.
The research was supported by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation and the results have been published in the journal SYNTHESIS (Q2, IF: 2.3).
