Modeling chemical reactions helps engineers virtually understand the chemistry, optimal size and design of the system, and how it interacts with other physics that may come into play. Reference of 108-47-4
A new aerobic copper-catalyzed three-component synthesis of azaaryl-substituted quinazolines has been developed, which featured inexpensive methylazaarenes as C1 sources, easily available copper salts as the catalysts and O2 as a sole oxidant. The transformation had very good substrate applicability towards methylazaarenes, and various azaaryl-substituted quinazolines were obtained in moderate to good yields.
Because enzymes can increase reaction rates by enormous factors and tend to be very specific, typically producing only a single product in quantitative yield, they are the focus of active research. Reference of 108-47-4
