By utilizing the inherent chirality of these templates, researchers can synthesize chiral nanoparticles, nanowires, and nanotubes with well-defined asymmetry. Chiral ligands, such as small organic ...

Our work has focused on two areas, the design of new acyl transfer catalysts, and the synthesis of asymmetric ligands for transition metals. Our work on acyl transfer catalysis has focused on the ...

Kaidi Li: Over centuries, chemists have utilised chiral amines for the development of biologically active small molecules and the synthesis of chiral ligands, necessitating a general and efficient ...

chiral ligands, auxiliaries, and organocatalysts. Given their vital importance, great progress has been made to synthesize enantioenriched chiral vicinal diamines. Among these, direct ...

The new method enables what had been impossible except in narrow cases: creating a center of chiral asymmetry at a hard-to-reach position called the "gamma" position on a cyclic carboxylic acid ...
