For example, Dieter Enders and Wolfgang Bettray nicely detail the applications of Enders' chiral auxiliary (S)-1-amino-2-methoxymethylpyrrolidine (SAMP) to the chemical syntheses of several chiral ...

Imine reductases can catalyze reductive amination reactions to produce chiral amines, however, transformation of bulky amines has been challenging. Here, by using an increasing-molecule-volume ...

The phenomenon is called chirality, and the molecules that have this property are called chiral molecules. For the latter ones, this means that the left-handed and the right-handed molecules, also ...

Guangqing Xu: This work was not only valuable for synthetic organic chemistry but also made a breakthrough for pericyclic reaction theory. Kaidi Li: Over centuries, chemists have utilised chiral ...

A team of Japanese researchers has discovered a new technique to tweak molecular orientation that could dramatically improve energy transfer when absorbing light. While in its infancy, this ...

Supramolecular chirality sensor: A metal-containing porphyrin dimer was synthesized. This agent directly determines the absolute configuration of chiral amines and alcohols without any additional ...
