Revolutionary Chemistry Discovery Promises Major Advances in Medicine and Agriculture
Scientists at the Technion have developed triazenolysis, a novel chemical process that converts alkenes into multifunctional amines, offering significant advancements in polymer, pharmaceutical, and agricultural production. Unlike the traditional ozonolysis, which forms carbon-oxygen bonds, triazenolysis efficiently creates carbon-nitrogen bonds, enhancing its applicability across various fields. This breakthrough, detailed in Nature Chemistry, was achieved by a team led by Prof. Mark Gandelman and supported by the Israel Science Foundation.
