LIVE FROM CPHI Worldwide: Endeavour Speciality Chemicals Announces New Range of Novel Intermediates

Endeavour Speciality Chemicals announces the launch of new additions to its range of reactive intermediates which includes a set of novel carboxylic acid anhydrides.

Endeavour Speciality Chemicals (Endeavour) has announced the launch of new additions to its range of reactive intermediates which includes a set of novel carboxylic acid anhydrides. Aimed at researchers working to synthesize new biologically active substances with specific pharmacological activity, the anhydrides are most commonly utilized in their reaction with nucleophiles to form the corresponding acylated compound, where the nucleophile could be an amine, thiol or any number of other groups. The introductions join a long established group of reactive intermediates that have been well reviewed in the past.

Recent literature has highlighted the role anhydrides can play in the synthesis of Melatonin agonists and antagonists (Melatonin is a hormone which plays an important role in aging, reproduction and sleep) and also their crucial role in the pre
