Article: Research reports from Isfahan University of Technology, Department of Chemistry provide new insights into life sciences.

New investigation results, 'Microwave-induced synthesis of new optically active and soluble polyamides containing pendent 4-(2-phthalimidiylpropanoylamino)benzoylamino-groups,' are detailed in a study published in Amino Acids. According to a study from Iran, "An aromatic chiral diacid monomer, 5-[4-(2-phthalimidiylpropanoylamino)-benzoylamino]isophthalic acid was synthesized in five steps under conventional heating in high yield and purity. A series of soluble, thermally stable and optically active polyamides (PA). containing pendent groups made of phthalimide, flexible L: -alanine and benzamide sequence have been successfully synthesized under microwave irradiation."
