A team of researchers have now discovered a catalyst that achieves exceptionally high-precision addition of hydrogen to carbon-carbon bonds, improving targeted synthesis by avoiding convoluted multi-step processes, and reducing wasteful by-products. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, the authors herald the reaction as especially useful in the production of complex natural substances such as pheromones.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2021-07-iridium-catalyzed-hydrogen-addition-plant-insect-based.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Iridium-catalyzed hydrogen addition, giving plant- and insect-based natural substances<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cost-effectiveness of drug synthesis depends on a number of factors, including the amount of waste produced.
